Generating "Good Enough" Evidence for Co-Production
Durose, Catherine; Needham, Catherine; Mangan, Catherine; Rees, James
Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, v13 n1 p135-151 Jan 2017
Co-production is not a new concept but it is one with renewed prominence and reach in contemporary policy discourse. It refers to joint working between people or groups who have traditionally been separated into categories of user and producer. The article focuses on the co-production of public services, offering theory-based and knowledge-based routes to evidencing co-production. It cites a range of "good enough" methodologies which community organisations and small-scale service providers experimenting with co-production can use to assess the potential contribution, including appreciative inquiry, peer-to-peer learning and data sharing. These approaches have the potential to foster innovation and scale-out experimentation.
