Evidence-based management consultancy, learning and development

What is evidence-based consulting?

Our evidence-based consulting approach is also used in our learning and development practices to deliver significant benefits to our clients.

It enables us to help clients develop effective and adaptable organisations by using the best information available.
That can be ‘hard’ information in management sciences and data analytics, or ‘soft’ information in the human sciences. However, in all cases we try to avoid fads and fuzziness.

So how does evidence-based consulting work?
In a sentence, by applying scientific principles to problem-solving, decision-making and management processes.

Evidence-Based Approach
We encourage you to avoid basing decisions on:
- untested, strongly held beliefs
- what you have done in the past
- uncritical “benchmarking” of what winners do
Best Information Available
“Fact based” decision making requires getting the best evidence and
using it to guide actions
Effective and Adaptable
We encourage experimentation and learning from experience
Coaching and Learning & Development
Face up to hard facts, and build a culture in which people are encouraged to be open and honest, even if it is difficult or unpleasant.

Systematic Approach

Evidence-based consulting means we use a systematic approach to gather facts about your organisation before analysing the data to find the important information, then applying the knowledge we gain before making recommendations.

Critical Thinking

Evidence-based consulting means we apply critical thinking and decision support tools to reduce bias and improve judgement.

Ethical Dimension

Evidence-based consulting means we consider the ethical dimension, including effects on stakeholders.
