Creating Public Value: Case Studies examines how certain public sector organisations are already creating public value, and shows how their work can be assessed within a public value framework. The framework given at the end of the case studies, which uses the V&A, the Royal Opera House, Leicester College, recycling and tobacco control in Lewisham as worked examples, has been developed during the course of the project to inform our thinking on the principles of public value outlined in the main report. The frameworks have also helped us to identify the ‘public value gaps’ for either organisations or initiatives. The case study work was conducted in 2005 and 2006, so more up to date figures in some cases may be available.
This report is part of a larger body of work around public value in the public sector that incorporates sector reports, literature reviews and papers on measurement together with seminars and presentations. Please note that the views expressed in this report are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the project sponsors or case study organisations.
