Update: 2025-08-20

Description

Mission or challenge oriented policies and interventions have become prominent in the past decade in innovation and other policy domains. What are the implications for evaluation, and what different tools and techniques might be needed to evaluate them effectively? This podcast explores this challenge, and reflects on wider trends in evaluation practice, drawing on SQW’s recent presentation at the UK Evaluation Society Conference.
