ABCs of KMEvidence-based knowledge management

Guidance and resources for evidence-based knowledge management

This article is part of an ongoing series of articles on evidence-based knowledge management.

Evidence-based practice is nothing new or complicated or mind-blowing. It isn’t a disruptive paradigm-shifting solution to every problem. It doesn’t involve convoluted equations, and you don’t need a team of brainiacs. It won’t push your thinking way outside the box with awesome concepts. It will do something much more exciting, interesting, and important than all of these put together: It will help you to make better decisions.
