How Great Companies Use Evidence-Based Change for Sustainable Advantage
Editorial Review
Evidence-based change is a mind-set and approach to making HR decisions. The thinking behind evidence-based change was inspired in part by the evidence-based movement in medicine. That movement came about after medical researchers noticed that doctors, despite a vast amount of available medical research, were treating disease in idiosyncratic ways. They were using their own preferred treatments even when there was solid scientific evidence that other treatments were more effective. The evidence-based medicine movement encouraged doctors to determine, on the basis of the available evidence, which treatment for a particular disease was most effective and to apply that treatment.
