The true meaning of Evidence Based would be to ensure that before we implement any program or strategy, that is evidence based (ie backed up by good research over a broad base of people, external to your organisation). The first thing that would then go is “Generation Theory”, which is so widely referenced in HR but has no valid research basis. This “theory” was dreamed up by a marketing team, and applies gross generalisations based on age alone. This is real Age Discrimination masquerading as management theory.

I particularly like the way you advise to start doing some analyses of your data, even if it’s not perfect… don’t be scared of it But then to also use other information types available inside and outside the organisation. Yay to use of evidence-based management and HR.
