Description
Summary:Decision making and strategy in missions can be elusive tasks. The presence of experts and careful planning may not assure the establishment of best practices. The purpose of this article is to introduce evidence-based practice (EBP) as a proven method for establishing best practices in the mission enterprise. I will provide (1) a definition of EBP, (2) the process for establishing an EBP, (3) the value of EBP and its contribution to the mission enterprise and the fulfillment of mission goals, and (4) the problem of bias and barriers, which challenges the implementation of EBP.
