Clare Peel, a big cheers to you for correcting my dodgy English and helping me<br />

to craft beautiful sentences. For me, writing in English is like walking a tightrope,<br />

and I feel very glad to have you as my net.<br />

Dirk Ubbink, dank voor je advies op mijn eerste schrijfsels (en dat je bereid was<br />

om helemaal naar Montreal af te reizen). Jij hebt mij geleerd dat het bij EBP gaat<br />

over ‘the best available evidence’.<br />

Rudolf Poolman, ik moet bekennen dat ik niet alleen je ‘perceptions’ onderzoek<br />

heb gekopieerd, maar ook de vormgeving van je proefschrift. Verder heb ik van jou<br />

natuurlijk geleerd hoe je een systematic review beoordeelt.<br />

Lillian Dekker, als een terriër heb jij je vastgebeten in de bureaucratische molen.<br />

Wat ben jij goed in je werk. Dank voor je tomeloze inzet!<br />

Josh Villanueva, our paper is not there yet, but it was wonderful to work with<br />

you. You taught me not to cut corners and to do ‘proper’ research. You are a far<br />

better academic than I will ever be.<br />

Franka Steenhuis, de bieb miep, jaren geleden leerde je mij hoe ik moet zoeken<br />

in research databases, ik ben je niet vergeten.<br />

Karen Plum, Andrew Mawson and Frank Huisman, many many thanks for your<br />

wonderful help as co-authors.<br />

Jeff Pfeffer, the pr<strong>of</strong>essors’ pr<strong>of</strong>essor, you and Bob Sutton were the first to<br />

introduce the term ‘evidence-based’ to the business community. You once told me<br />

that you thought your HBR paper had little impact, but I think it was a stone in the<br />

pond, and the ripples continue to expand. Thank you for the interesting discussions<br />

we had during our CEBMa meetings and our dinners in San Francisco and<br />

Amsterdam.<br />

John Boudreau, thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts on EBP. From<br />

you I learned the value <strong>of</strong> organizational evidence and predictive analytics.<br />

Quint Studer, I enjoyed our talks in Pensacola (what a nice place!). Thank you<br />

for reminding me that in management it’s not evidence that counts so much as<br />

accountability.
