Panel Discussion: Excellence in Leadership

With senior thinkers and police leaders we will explore a number of areas:
How do you lead in a way that uses the best evidence?
How do you get organisations to understand what is effective, to commission effectively and to evaluate interventions effectively.
We are also exploring what the evidence says about good leadership – not from the multitude of airport best sellers, but from well researched evidence based insights.
This session will benefit anyone who is interested in what the evidence says about good leadership and how as a leader to embrace evidence based practices.
Dr Rick Muir will also delve into a recent strategic review of policing – drawing on the importance of evidence based policing for future leadership.
