Abstract
What is the value of evidence-based interventions in addressing “Grand Challenges”?
Building upon the EPOS Grand Challenges work (Sakhrani et al., 2017), this paper explores

addressing Grand Challenges. It discusses the criticisms of the Evidence-based Management
approach and argues that evidence is a necessary, but not sufficient input in the decisionmaking process of addressing Grand Challenges
