Critical Thinking and Analysis Skills for People Professionals
5CO02 – Evidence-based practice
This CIPD Level 5 learning video on Critical Thinking and Analysis Skills for People Professionals supports unit 5CO02 – Evidence-based practice, specifically addressing assessment criteria AC 1.1. The video explores how to evaluate evidence-based practice and apply critical thinking and analysis to organisational decision-making, covering key models including rational decision-making, bounded rationality, and group dynamics such as groupthink and polarisation. By examining how to select, interpret and critically review evidence whilst identifying bias, you'll develop the justifiable decision-making skills essential for people professionals working in evidence-based practice.
