  12. Matrix is the key summary tool • Policy options • Criteria • Predictions Student examples: http://courses.washington.edu/pbaf513m/assignments.htm Professional Examples: http://courses.washington.edu/pbaf513m/Resources.htm

  13. My philosophy of doing Policy Analysis: • Strive for objectivity and full information • It’s not a sales pitch for "your" policy • But know your role (a la Weimer and Vining) • Objective technician • Client’s advocate • Issue advocate • Do the best analysis with what you can get • Use the best info you can find • Take responsibility for getting the best info • Be cognizant of when more time or analysis is critical to the analysis

  14. Context is everything • Who is your client? What values and powers do they have? • Understand institutional and organizational context of the issue • History, politics, laws, administrative culture matter • What’s in place now, what’s been tried already? (implemented or proposed)

  15. Take responsibility for presenting a clear and concise product • Process is different than product-- Policy analysis is a messy process Use nonlinear thinking, linear writing

  16. The Trouble with Greenlake: • What is the problem at Green Lake? • What types of strategies should the city consider for dealing with this issue? • What criteria should the city consider in choosing a response to this issue (outcomes, resources required)? • Create a matrix with Strategies and criteria and fill in your best guesses about how each strategy would rate on each criterion.
