Overview
This five-day Predicting Policy Impact course offered at Maastricht School of Management introduces participants to an analytical framework for anticipating policy outcomes. By understanding how policies influence the decisions of individuals and organisations, you will learn how to assess the likely effects of policy interventions before they are implemented.Key facts
Using real-world policy examples, you will explore how decision-making can be analysed and translated into informed predictions of policy outcomes. You will gain sufficient technical understanding to critically interpret policy analyses, question the assumptions on which they are based, and make informed use of their results.
Throughout the programme, you will apply the concepts to a policy or programme question from your own professional or research context. By the end of the course, you will have a practical framework for thinking through policy questions, anticipating likely outcomes and using analytical evidence to support decision-making.
