Farewell to the commissioning model and atomised inquiry. \n3. Enter explanation -abstraction and cumulative inquiry. \n4. Demolish the evaluation research 'silos': concentrate on programme theory commonalities. \n5. Prioritise synthesis over evaluation: apply retrospective evidence prospectively. \n6. Begin at the beginning: Shift resources from ex-post to ex-ante. \n7. Widen focusfrom programmes' to the whole policy apparatus. \n8. Incorporate institutional history: learning from continuing trial and continuous error. \n9. Attempt the impossible: confront the \"wicked problems'. \n",

It might be put:  \nWhat is it about a programme that works, for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects, with what resources at what cost, with what political/public support, , with what sustainably, designed and funded by whom, implemented by whom, in the presence of other programmes/ reforms, etc., etc.'\n\n Effectiveness depends on the interaction of all of these conditions and more. Let us call this: Multiple Condition Causation (MCC). \n",
