In this online masterclass, Julian King will introduce the Value for Investment (VfI) approach, which was developed to assess the value of public policies and social investments. Julian will discuss the theoretical origins of the VfI approach and show how it is used to integrate outputs from cost-benefit analysis with wider evidence and perspectives. Using a worked example, Julian will demonstrate how the approach can be used in practice and point participants to online resources they can use to apply the VfI approach in their own work.

 Julian King is a New Zealand-based public policy consultant who specialises in evaluation and value for money. Through doctoral research, Julian developed the Value for Investment VfI approach, which integrates insights from economics and evaluation. The approach is now used in the UK and worldwide to evaluate complex and hard-to-measure programmes and policies. Julian is an Associate of Oxford Policy Management, an Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and serves on the UK Evaluation Task Force’s Evaluation and Trial Advice Panel.
