Tom McDowall takes us through what we need to know in this latest article: Evidence-informed practice sits at the intersection of three things: scientific and industry research, our own professional experience, and context-specific inputs from the people closest to the work, including subject matter experts, stakeholders, and the people we’re designing for.
