Alex is a PhD candidate in Management and Organisation at NUS Business School in Singapore. He believes that we should be testing whether the claims we make as practitioners about the work we do are empirically proven. Alex is not saying the field itself should be scientific, he believes it is not because part of it is art more than science, but we should know what works, what doesn’t and why.
