THE AIM OF THE GAME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective of this game isn\u2019t to earn the most points or cards or to eliminate the other players by the end of the game. What\u2019s the point of the game, then, you might ask? The goal is to start a conversation about public policy and project evaluation, regarding all the good reasons why you\u2019ve never done it, to understand why it\u2019s sometimes so complicated, and to think about the solutions that might help. It\u2019s also a great way to jump into evaluation feet first, to hit a little where it hurts the most and arouse the curiosity of your organization, all while having fun. Incidentally, this game is a great tool in any organization for officials in charge of evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CO-CREATED GAME ENRICHED WITH REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game Evalopobia was elaborated in a participative way (between 2016 and 2017)
with a number of actors: an expert group consisting of Strategic Design Scenarios and Quadrant Conseil, selected by the CGDD of the French Ministry for an Ecological and Solidary Transition; a variety of actors from over forty public authorities (mayors, evaluation officials, directors, etc.); as well as a number of actors from French environmental agencies (DREAL, DRIEE, ARPE, CEREMA, etc.). This game was conceived following a design thinking approach, linking phases of acculturation to the subject with the realities in the field, and phases of design, prototyping, simulating, testing, redesigning \u2013 and more testing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE CONTRIBUTORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have noticed, behind the scenes of this project are not only the teams from Quadrant Conseil (Karine Sage and Vincent Honor\u00e9), Strategic Design Scenarios (Fran\u00e7ois J\u00e9gou, Christophe Gouache and Selam Mebrahtu) and the CGDD (Isabelle Couprie et Erwin Riclet) of the French Ministry for an Ecological and Solidary Transition, but also and in particular the number of on-the-ground actors (from cities, departements and regions) throughout France. Through their active participation, they allowed the co-creation of this tool. We thank them warmly for their help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
