Whole Measures: Transforming Communities by Measuring What Matters Most

Whole Measures – A Tool for Creating Change

Whole Measures offers a means of describing and measuring the healthy relationships between land and people that we seek to create. It offers the beginning foundations for a highly integrated, whole systems approach that effectively embraces a wide variety of practical issues including biodiversity, social equity, human rights, civic engagement, and landscape-scale conservation

The Center for Whole Communities and the Interaction Institute for Social Change collaborated and created a workshop that explores the ten values-based practices detailed in Whole Measures. The workshop provides the transformational and collaborative skills needed to implement these practices in your organization or community. The three-day experience will combine learning in the groundbreaking content of Whole Measures, and in the skills of design, planning and facilitation, transformational leadership, and the practice of dialogue.

In this workshop you will learn to:
* See and approach your work from a systemic perspective
* Understand key concepts and tools for what it means to be a healthy, whole community
* Apply concrete skills for implementation:
…Collaborative Process Design
…Effective Convening and Facilitation
…Stakeholder Analysis
…Measuring multiple dimensions of success
…Dialogue Process
