HOW TO USE EVIDENCE TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS
• Stop treating old ideas as if they were brand new• Be suspicious of “breakthrough” studies and ideas. • Develop and celebrate collective brilliance. • Emphasize drawbacks as well as virtues. • Use success (and failure) stories to illustrate sound
practices but not in place of valid research methods• Adopt a neutral stance toward ideologies.
