Consider a decision you needed to make recently, whether it was of little or significant importance. What was the role of evidence in supporting this decision? Did you seek out the evidence first to guide you toward a decision, or was your mind already made up and you sought evidence to support your gut feeling? In this Discussion, you will examine one example of a time when you made a decision based on evidence and one example of a time when you made a decision before finding the evidence for support.
Then, review the article Is Decision-Based Evidence Making Necessarily Bad?
Next, reflect upon your experiences related to decision making, particularly in the workplace. Think back across these decision-making experienceswhat went well, what didnt go well, and any insights you gained from the experiences and/or from watching the video. With your experiences in mind, consider how evidence-based decision making could promote positive social change.
