This book provides a contemporary and thought-provoking exploration
of the concept of practical wisdom--what it is and how it can be
incorporated into evaluation practice. It defines what practical
wisdom is, explores its roots, where it stands today, what
constitutes the ""wise"" evaluator, and how we can develop sound
judgment in an unpredictable and chaotic time. It brings together
evaluation thought leaders and practitioners to examine the concept
of practical wisdom. The authors' enlightening essays are
interwoven with reflective strands comprised of commentaries,
examples, and new ideas added by Hurteau and her colleagues that
offer a recursive and intricate pattern of reflection on the topic
of practical wisdom. This is a rare book because it moves beyond
evaluation methodology to explore how practical wisdom can help us
develop new and better solutions for difficult evaluation
situations. It will become a standard reference for practitioners,
trainers. and teachers of evaluation because it considers the
history, ethics, and competencies that underpin practical wisdom,
and examines the ways that this untaught skill can be applied, to
do, as House says, "the right thing in the special circumstances of
performing the job.
