Reclaiming Public Value
What are public institutions for, and how can they show it?
The programme studies how public organisations define their mandate, organise their services and demonstrate results to parliaments, ministries and citizens. Its work includes the M3 framework (mandate, mechanism, measurement), research on service models and decision-making patterns in public agencies, and practitioner perspectives on innovation policy and on public trust in information.
This programme across the three pillars
Public Policy
How governments set missions and create the conditions in which public and private actors deliver value together.
Public Administration
How public organisations choose their service models, take decisions and measure the results they deliver.
Public Finance
How public financial instruments for innovation and infrastructure can be designed to serve their public purpose.
