Objectives

A distinguishing and founding hallmark of HPI is that it is evidence-based. Each of us has an obligation to engage in valid and reliable practices. We must consider the evidence first, before deciding upon a course of action. We must draw upon best-available evidence to solve problems. But what constitutes best evidence? How do you distinguish fact from folklore, sense from nonsense, science from serendipity?

This session should be valuable to anyone who

1. Is asked to provide training.
2. Is asked to fix any type of problem where people are not doing what someone thinks they should be doing.
3. Consults with internal or external customers and wants to provide them the right solutions to meet their needs.

Cost

Free to members; $10 guests
