Alternative ways to evaluate public value: Measuring missions and capturing market-shaping effects

In this public event, we take a look at emerging and alternative ways to measure value creation through design and innovation. While 21st-century politics is increasingly defined by the need to respond to major social, environmental and economic challenges, for governments and institutions to solve these challenges they will need to measure different things. Evaluation frameworks matter because in many ways these frameworks constitute policy reality. And future-fit policies will need to go beyond market-fixing approaches and consciously co-create markets. Too often, however, evaluation frameworks cannot account for this.
 
In this session, Rowan Conway will host a conversation with colleagues and partners from the MOIN network to reflect on recent collaborations where we considered new ways to think about evaluation. IIPP Deputy Director, Rainer Kattel will share new research conducted with BEIS on alternative evaluation models, Cat Drew, Interim Chief Executive at the Design Council in the UK will discuss how to reimagine evaluative models for design and transformative innovation, and IIPP MPA alumni Patricia Ugboma will reflect on how she worked alongside the Design Council to rethink the mainstream approach to policy evaluation for design and the creative industries.
