Why we need evidence-based decisions in every business | Christina Gravert | TEDxManchester

Would you use a medicine that was never tested before being sold in pharmacies? Every year the UK government spends £400 billion pounds of our money without any evidence that this money is actually being spent effectively. When you broaden the picture globally it easily expands into trillions of pounds every year spent without real evidence to show its being well spent. The maddening thing is that this is nearly all avoidable. Economist Christina Gravert will discuss why we need to make testing and evidence-gathering a fundamental part of our public and private sector cultures and points us to people and organisations leading the way as well as some tips on how you might begin your own journey. Since the awarding of the 1978 Nobel Prize in Economics to political scientist, Herbert Simon, the influence of behavioural economics has only continued to grow both in the field of economics as well as in broader policymaking.

I am in prison now and write it from prison.when i came to here 5years ago this idea come to my mind, that after finishing school, if government forced me to be in a prison for two days, after that experience i would not to make a any crime.but this video shows that me and the governments who use this program was not right.the only good thing at here that i have a huge amount of free time and could learn languages and many important areas like, psychology, finance, marketing e.t.c what i already did

This is obvious but we also need evidence-based decisions in every election too

Bardzo ciekawe pomysły i wyniki badań. Bardzo dobra wypowiedź. Niby takie oczywiste, ale jakie zadziwiające. Polecam obejrzeć.

the obvious is, well obvious. as SOON as you introduce extrapolation of ABX data to any decision, you fundamentally change that data. extrapolation is the MOST UNRELIABLE method to measure a trend.

That’s what we innovators called limited thinking. Only limitations we have are created by our minds and it’s fears.

From my own understanding, you need to invest wisely, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $470k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes a while but investing wisely is the key for short term. Most of us pay more attention to the easy position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

Wow, a TED talk about rational budgeting rather than a speaker just making a "and it should be free" statement.

😏 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World.
But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Haa Haa ❤️ Haa
*NOTE:
Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries.
