Evidence Based Management – Rob Briner
Rob Briner is an professor of organisational behaviour at London Queen Mary’s University – he’s rated the top HR thinker in the UK. This is a brilliant chat. Very much essential listening for anyone interested in HR but also worth listening for those of us who sit thinking ‘what do HR actually do?’ or what should we do to improve things round here.
We talk about ‘evidence based management’ – which you can find out more about here: The Centre for Evidence Based Management. I’d researched it but he explained it way better. He ends up giving me his take on work culture and lots lots more.
Rob outlines some of the pitfalls that any of us make when we set about fixing work. He also explains the challenges of psychology – discussing something called ‘the replication crisis’ about large scale studies.
