This episode accompanies Module 13 of the course, which is about incorporating evidence into the decision making process. Is the evidence appropriate for our situation (is it generalizable). Can we (and should we) action  the evidence? And what are the practical aspects associated with using the evidence that we’ve gathered? The real world is messy and complex, so there are many things to take into consideration. We share real world examples  from professional HR body CIPD, Creelman Research and a large trial at pharmaceutical organization Sandoz (part of Novartis Group), which shows not only the power of capturing stakeholder experiences, but the value of keeping interventions simple and practical.   Host: Karen Plum  Guests: Eric Barends, Managing Director, Center for Evidence-Based Management Denise Rousseau, H J Heinz University Professor, Carnegie Mellon UniversityJonny Gifford, Senior Researcher, CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development with a worldwide community of 160k membersDavid Creelman, CEO of Creelman Research and an expert of HR strategy, analytics and learningStefanie Nickel, Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion, pharmaceutical manufacturer Sandoz, part of the Novartis Group  Find out more about the course here:   https://cebma.org/resources-and-tools/course-modules/
