Improving Outcomes with Evidence-Based Management with Mark Wavle

We strive to make good decisions as we work to deliver amid change and uncertainty. Still, it's easy to lose sight of the deeper goals - improving outcomes, reducing risks, and optimizing investments. What should we measure? Are our goals still valid? Are we still headed in the right direction? And, how can we do this at the organizational level?
Through a set of interactive exercises, you learn about the elements of Evidence-Based Management (EBM) and how they improve decision-making in complex situations. Using discussion and the online whiteboard tool Mural, Mark guides your discovery of EBM and its value to you.
In this session, you:
- Learn four Key Value Areas (KVAs) and the balance needed for sustained success
- Explore how empirical loops can be applied to strategic goals
- Re-frame measures as empirical evidence that enables deeper questions for better decisions
Come learn how to make better decisions and continuously improve toward strategic goals and objectives.
