An unplugged conversation with Rob Briner

On March 6th, in Barcelona, the members of the FFWi community had the opportunity of joining an inspiring conversation on evidence-based management with Rob Briner, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Queen Mary, University of London, and Scientific Director of the Center for Evidence-Based Management.

Professor Briner, who has received several awards for his work including the British Psychological Society Division of Occupational Psychology “Academic Contribution to Practice Award” in 2014, and topped HR Magazine’s “Most Influential Thinker” list in 2016, shared with the participants in this session powerful insights about what evidence-based management (EBM) means, and some hints on how to instill this way of approaching decision making into any organization.

Any profession that wants to be taken seriously should be concerned and informed about the nature of the evidence base for what it does.
