Our Values

Our vision

A more thoughtful world, in which citizens and decision-makers use evaluative tools to design and refine action for the public good.

Commitment

We give our all to each project, no matter the size. We are committed to continuous learning and staying at the head of our fields so our work can enable better public policy outcomes.

Critical thinking

We are focused on helping our clients improve the quality of judgements about the value of policies and programs, using credible evidence for real-world solutions.

Curiosity

We’re continuously learning about new approaches to policy and program design, research and evaluation. We explore the drivers of complex policy problems and seek to understand how interventions work.

Creativity

We approach each project with a sense of possibility because we know new ideas and flexible approaches are needed to address complex policy problems within available resources.

Collaboration

We work with our clients and their clients as partners in policy co-design and review processes, listening and responding to clients’ needs and valuing diverse perspectives and cultures.

Compassion

We work from the heart, approach everyone with empathy, and work with others to make the world a better place.
