To run a successful organisation the company management has to set their objectives and

strategies in such a way that company constantly improve and increase its productivity
profitability and also cope up with the advanced technology and develop new methods or
systems for such changes.
Going through the seminar 6, Article 3 Hard Facts, Dangerous Half Truth, and Total Nonsense:
Profiting from Evidenced- Based Management article, we came across 9 principles which we
can use to create methodology used in organisation for improving the function and achieve the
strategic objectives, I have considered 5 principles which I think will be best suited for the
organisation I work for:
1) Treat the organisation as unfinished prototype:
Basically here we have to conduct a proper research before implementing any strategic
objective because it is risky if we didnt get the desired result. We have to take help from
internal and external sources and take expertise help to make decision and strategic for
future company growth. So it is suggested to develop a prototype which is required to be
checked before implemented to see the results and feedback from various subordinates
and peers and from all those who is going to get affected from those changes. So it helps
in preparing the manager to perform its tasks as desired and to get required results.
2) See your organisation and yourself as outsiders do:
As a manager it is also required to see the organisation from outsiders point of view
which in turn helps the manager and organisation to know there errors or mistakes where
they should make changes to achieve their strategic objectives. Looking at the company
as outsider helps us to find the areas of improvement and also the areas where we are
achieving success and then how we can work on the areas which need to be change so
that company should expand its business accordingly.
3) Evidence based Management is just not for Seniors:

Success of any company is not just in hands of senior level management rather it a
success of the company as whole. The subordinates at all the levels plays a vital role for
the success of companys goals and objectives as they also think and share their views to
improve on line of work and also helps the senior level to make improvements in the new
methods. So the workers should be given responsibility and also should be allowed to
keep their view in front of management.
4) Master the obvious and mundane:
It is basically a benchmarking process. Here as a new technology which needs to be
implemented in the organisation, we can measure the success rate of it by comparing it
with other organisation who are already using it or have used in past to achieve the goals
and targets, on this basis we can get idea as how long such practices will be take to
implement and whether it is effective or not? When and at what stage it should be
implemented and for how long it should be implemented?
5) What happens when people fail?
Everyone is not perfect, while working on accomplish the objectives there might be a
chances of failure and thus we need to create an environment where subordinates are
motivated and work with enthusiasm towards the strategic objectives. We already
discussed above that to create a more value we have to motivate the employees by asking
to them to participate and take their ideas for growth and we should not blame anyone for
the failure rather we should learn something from it and work more hard to achieve the
strategic objectives.
6) Perspective on Leadership:
The best leaders are lifelong students because they are curious and driven to keep
learning what works best for their companies and also motivates their peers and
subordinates to work towards the goal in order to achieve success all together.

This principles are both quantitative and qualitative because to run a success management and
achieve our objective we need both of them. Qualitative methods generally deal with to access
the performance of the organisation and also can measure the performance of the employees and
provide them training wherever required. Quantitative methods generally deals with taking the
decision required for changing the staff or replacing them with new or old projects and also
recruiting the new employees etc.
Thus after going through these principles we can say that there should be a systematic
hierarchical method which every company has to follow, which means every activity should be
done according to the prescribed procedure and the work should be divided at all different levels
so that the deviations are avoided and the strategic objectives can be achieved easily. By doing
this the organisation can access their strategic objectives easily and can also establish different
techniques to achieve those objectives.
So by applying all these principles we can reduce the chances of erros and all the person are
liable for their own work. Moreover, this method leads to positive performance of an
organization and the employees. And can also be used as the feedback process to see if the
company is successfully meeting its strategic mandates (goals and objectives).
