Developing policies to support valuing in the public interest
The author offers a framework for supporting valuing in the public interest, informed by a pragmatic approach that acknowledges and defends the value of multiple approaches to valuing. With our multiple approaches understood as tools for assisted sense making, the task for evaluators is to understand the factors that lead some tools to be more effective for valuing in particular contexts. Factors addressed include the decisions confronting stakeholders and the needed complexity and precision of valuation. The result is a more systematic and yet responsive framing that balances (a) individual and social valuation, (b) algorithmic and holistic approaches to summative conclusions, and (c) the often‐conflicting paradigms that structure other debates in evaluation. Tentative implications of this framework are suggested for the evaluation community, for government and foundation methodology policies, and for education and training. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Evaluation Association.
