对解决棘手政策问题的政策策略的评估不可避免地涉及一个悖论，即试图判断没有解决方案的问题的解决方案，而额外的努力可能会增加找到更好应对措施的机会。本文分析了“小胜利”的概念如何有助于评估棘手问题领域的进展，从而激励各种利益相关者而不是让他们瘫痪，并拥抱复杂性而不是恢复驯服和高估。它提出了一个小胜利评估框架，该框架植根于通过积累小胜利取得进展的基本政策观点。它包括三个步骤：1）识别并重视小胜利； 2）分析是否激活了正确的推动机制，从而积累成变革； 3) 组织结果反馈到政策流程中，以激活新的小胜利。这一框架将不可避免地与迅速、彻底、全面解决棘手问题的不切实际的期望发生冲突。
The evaluation of policy strategies to tackle wicked policy problems inevitably involves a paradox of trying to judge solutions for problems that have no solutions and for which additional efforts might increase the chances of finding better responses. This paper analyzes how the concept of small wins can contribute to evaluating progress in wicked problem areas in a way that energizes a variety of stakeholders instead of paralyzing them and embraces complexity instead of reverting to taming and overestimation. It presents a small wins evaluation framework that is rooted in the underlying policy perspective of making progress through accumulating small wins. It comprises three steps: 1) identifying and valuing small wins; 2) analyzing whether the right propelling mechanisms are activated so as to accumulate into transformative change; 3) organizing that results feed back into the policy process to activate new small wins. This framework will inevitably clash with unrealistic expectations of addressing wicked problems rapidly, radically and comprehensively.
