INTRODUCTION

This Evidence Based Management & Leadership training course proceeds from the premise that using better, deeper logic and employing facts to the extent where possible permits leaders to do their jobs better. Understanding this principle and applying what is all about. It focuses on the hard facts about what works and what doesn’t really work in your organization, and determining the half-truths that constitute much of the conventional wisdom about measuring outcomes by management, and rejecting the those that too often pass for sound advice will help organizations perform better.

This training course will help the participants learn and apply methods to better qualify and quantify their standards and measures before making essential decisions about their strategies of growth going forward.  Based on factually based science to make forward decisions is the essence of this training course. You will learn the methods used by other industries, to carefully chose what procedures to use under a variety of circumstances which will make your decisions more viable and less risky.
