The EBM Practice Guide — Toward an Agile Vision That Connects Practice, Goals, and Measurement
summary
Introduces a practical kata for applying Evidence-Based Management (EBM) now by defining three-tier goals (strategic → intermediate → immediate tactical), running short hypothesis-driven experiments instead of planned “work,” and replacing activity/output metrics with outcome-focused measures (market value and organizational capability). Recommends concrete habits: check directional alignment, treat work slices as experiments, pick metrics that inform decisions, and start from current goals and metrics to iterate. Also points to a starter pattern, community pilots, a book, and downloadable white papers.
