How different types of organizations can incorporate evidence based management practices

What is it about?

This paper examines how evidence based management (EBM) can help managers build more flexible organizations. In the context of this article, we define the need to build for this capacity around the challenge of “ambidexterity”, or the need for companies to continue operations while also allowing for innovation. We present a framework to help managers create strategies that help them build ambidexterity in their organizations, whether they operate in highly regulated, compliance driven or un-regulated, non-compliance climates.

Why is it important?

We usually think of evidence based management as being only for companies that use "hard evidence", such as hospitals, law firms, or police departments. We show that other types of firms might also engage in evidence based management in different ways.
