Evaluation Approaches

The subject of evaluating foresight work has been around for almost as long as the professional practice itself has, but the field has done little to move closer to a systematic evaluation of its work. This special issue marks the second collection of articles on that project after a special issue of Futures in 2012 (Van Der Duin and Van Der Martin 2012). This issue takes a three-part approach: Part 1: evaluation of foresight in general and evaluation approaches and methods that can support designing an appropriate evaluation; Part 2: evaluation of foresight work in organizations and its impact on long-term thinking and decision-making; and Part 3: evaluation of specific foresight activities—an undergraduate learner foresight experience and a health sector scenario development exercise. The foreword ends with a reflection on the continuing issue of foresight and evaluation.

Evaluation Work

Evaluation capacity-building entails not only developing the expertise needed to undertake robust and useful evaluations; it also involves creating and sustaining a market for that expertise by promoting an organisational culture in which evaluation is a routine part of ‘the way we do things around here’. A challenge for evaluators is to contribute to evaluation capacity-building while also fulfilling their key responsibilities to undertake evaluations. A key strategy is to focus on both discerning value and adding value for clients/commissioners of evaluations. This paper takes as examples two related internal evaluation projects conducted for the Queensland Police Service that have added value for the client and, in doing so, have helped to promote and sustain an evaluation culture within the organisation. It describes key elements of these evaluations that contributed to evaluation capacity-building. The paper highlights the key role that evaluators themselves, especially internal evaluators, can take in evaluation capacity-building, and proposes that internal evaluators can, and should, integrate evaluation capacity-building into their routine program evaluation work.
