Robert I. Sutton

1 'Robert I. Sutton' (born 1954 in Chicago) is Professor of Management science at the Stanford Engineering School and researcher in the field of

Evidence-based management.


Evidence-based management

1 'Evidence-based management' (EBMgt or EBM) is an emerging movement to explicitly use the

current, best evidence in management and decision-making. Its roots are in empiricism and well

developed in evidence-based medicine and evidence based policy. These are quality movements aimed at applying the scientific method to

evaluating practice.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-evidence-based-management-toolkit.html

Evidence-based management - Overview

1 Evidence-based management entails managerial decisions and

organizational practices informed by the best available scientific evidence



1 An important part of EBMgt is educating current and future managers in evidence-based practices. The EBMgt website

maintained at Stanford University provides a repository of syllabi,

cases, and tools that can inform the teaching of evidence-based

management.



1 Organizations successfully pursuing evidence-based management typically go through cycles of

experimentation and redesign of their practices to create an evidence-

based culture consistent with their values and mission.



1 As an example of the types of initiatives and organizations promoting EBMgt, the EBMgt

Collaborative has as its Credo: Evidence-Based Management

(EBMgt) enhances the overall quality of organizational decisions and

practices through deliberative use of relevant and best available scientific

evidencehttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-evidence-based-management-toolkit.html
