14. EVIDENCE
• Evidence is used at different stages of the project process;
• Evidence has been used of course already in defining the problem, and in
thinking about solutions;
• Evidence is also used during the process and at the end via monitoring and
evaluation;
• Here we concentrate on broadening the horizons of evidence in the initial
stages of the process.

15. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE
You are not alone…You may learn from:
• Those who have addressed the same or similar issues
• The past: What has been tried before? Why it worked/did not work?
• Colleagues in your own city: could it be that similar actions are tried in other
city quarters, how to use their lessons?
• From service users and citizens: getting feedback and ideas and co-creating?
• Other cities: Learning from good practices in other cities, national and abroad?
• Science, research and data: Learning from scientific studies about the topic at
hand? How to find them, how to “translate” them in a language accessible for
policymakers?
• Using expertise and any ‘thinking out of the box’: What type of experts would
we need? How about inviting ‘unusual suspects’, someone who could really
inspire and challenge us
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 2 15
16. ’UNUSUAL SUSPECTS’
• Experts or anybody coming from
outside the people and organisations
we usually use to inform us
• In order to help us think out of the
box, to have a fresh and critical look
on what we are doing
• To be challenged and inspired
• To find new, creative ways of solving
our problems
• To broaden our horizons, to enhance
our actions and
• Get better results
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 2 16
17. EXAMPLES OF ’UNUSUAL SUSPECTS’
Copenhagen Job Centre:
• Hired Anthropologists, using co-creative methods with
customers, and made a ’walk through’ and analysis of
the whole job centre service process and then together
with staff and customers came up with innovations
City of Swindon, UK:
• Hired voluntary organisation people who lived for
weeks with troubled families, in their daily lives, in
order to bring the message ’from the inside’ for reforms
of services, which were not delivering
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 2 17

Deliverables
• List of (at least 3) results
• Completed Evidence Enhancement Table
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 2 23
Editor's Notes
09:30 to 11:00 Day 2 – slide to project as people enter
Lab 2 – preparing wellHow to translate problems into results (what is the change we wish to see.....)How to identify gaps and share experience and enhance the use of evidence
Show where we are on the planning cycle – moving now to gathering evidence – preparing well
09:35
The Language is changing – you may have seen the USU glossary which has been preparedThe key concepts in Lab 2 are: PROBLEMS and RESULTSThe key task is moving from problems into clearly expressed results we expect to be achieved
How things flow....& what the terms mean – let’s not get too hung up on that thoughAlso need to think about inputs / resources – throughout the cycleIterative process – not linear
So this is what you came up with in ULSG@work1?Ask for feedback – how was it? Allow 10 minutes for discussion here – there is time
How moving from problems to solutionsAnd defined results – must be expressed as clearly as possibleMaybe take 1 example from ULSG@work 1 – 1 core problem & flip into a solution – add live in ppt or on flipchart
Different themes can come up with different problemsProb need to focus on around 3 resultsThink through results together (live) e.g. The workforce has the skills needed by employers and is work-readyThis will be one of your deliverables from ULSG@work2 – see next slide for how it will be presentedShort buzz to discuss & ask questions / clarify
Good exampleHere the problem might have been e.g. poorly skilled workforce
Another exampleProblem would be lack of start ups
At the ULSG@work 2 session you will be asked to prepare a list of at least 3 results – all ok? Questions?
10:05 (have 15 mins for intro then 10 mins for intro to Evidence Experience tableNext part of preparing well is the evidence base
Briefly introduce this – 7 types of different evidence – not exhaustiveA starting point
Use evidence experience table first (2 columns)Mark the sources you have actually usedEach person has 3 dotsPlace them against the sources of evidence you have used most – use all 3 at once or spread them around
10:45/10:50NextULSG@work session starts immediately after this LAB – until lunchtime (13:00)
