Evaluation and Value for Investment

Psst - Want free Value for Money (VfM) resources?👇

VfM assessments are too often distracted by the money and vague about the value. We aim to change that. The Value for Investment (VfI) approach, developed through my doctoral research at the University of Melbourne and honed through a decade of practical application with the Kinnect Group, Oxford Policy Management and others, is designed to provide better answers to VfM questions.

VfI isn't another method - it's a system to help you provide better VfM assessments using existing methods and tools. It's open source. It's taught and used globally to make sense of complex, hard-to-measure policies and programs. And we're just getting started. Join us in disrupting VfM assessment!

VfI combines insights from evaluation and economics. It uses evaluative reasoning (with rubrics), mixed methods (quant and qual), and participatory, power-sharing processes to provide comprehensive VfM assessments.

Hi! I'm Julian. I developed the VfI approach and I'm here to help you pick it up and use it.
