After reviewing this week’s materials respond to the following questions:

1. What are the benefits of evidence-based decision making?
2. Consider how decisions are made in the organization where you work (or have worked in the past). Describe one specific example and determine on what basis the decision was made. Was it a decision that was date-based or based on fear, personal agenda, or other non-data based approaches? Based on what you learned in this weeks session, what would have been a more effective way to make the decision you described.

Your initial post must be a minimum of 150 words. Make sure your post shows evidence that you have completed and understood the readings for this week by using the theories/concepts that were covered and by adding quotes and examples from the text that help you answer the question.
