Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have grown in popularity among for-profit and not-for-profit financial service providers alike, due to their accuracy in evaluating both bottom-line and social mission impacts.But many organizations struggle to understand exactly what RCTs are, and how to begin using RCTs for decision-making. In this free webinar, we discuss why RCTs are so powerful and how financial service providers can use RCTs to understand the impacts of their products and services.
