My work is guided by these principles. See Principles-focused evaluation by Michael Quinn Patton for more, also the resources page which embodies the principles below.
- We create a co-design environment
- We create space for the people affected in any decision about their world to lead by their experiences
- We trust well-informed community decision-making
- We take responsibility for providing high quality information in ways that can be understood - We promote health literacy
- We take the time to build the relationship - We work together by accommodating each other’s objectives to build our relationships into partnerships – we are reciprocal.
- We strengthen the voice of the consumer – we understand the confidence value in numbers.
- We always close the loop – we understand the importance of transparency and commitment to outcomes in partnership building.
- We go slow to go fast – We build on our strengths and prepare to be ready for opportunities.
- We think systematically – we find the system in the complexity and don’t reinvent wheels.
- We look for opportunities to realise multiple benefits with one intervention.
