Utilising Evidence In Decision Making

It is often the case that bad policy and poor management decisions can arise from the lack of consideration of relevant evidence or even the absence of any evidence at all.

This 'Utilising Evidence In Decision Making Training' course explores how to properly source the right evidence while challenging assumptions made about evidence collection and evaluation. Part of our Policy Skills series, Utilising Evidence in Decision Making is available on request and will help participants understand the importance and benefits of having firm evidence that meets the needs of modern decision making.

At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each participant’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
