Whole Measures Workshops:
“Both IISC and CWC have taken their excellent tools even further by combining the process expertise of IISC and the measurement tools of CWC."
-Julie Wormser, ED of The Boston Harbor Association
2012 Whole Measures Workshop Offerings:
- Tuesday, July 10- Friday, July 13 at Knoll Farm, VT

These workshops will be facilitated by Mistinguette Smith from Center for Whole Communities and Curtis Ogden, from the Interaction Institute for Social Change.
Whole Measures Workshop Curriculum
In collaboration with Interaction Institute for Social Change we have 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.
The workshop provides the practical and transformational skills needed to collaboratively implement these practices in your organization or community. This experience is particularly well suited to those charged with engaging diverse stakeholders in a community or organizational change initiative.
In this workshop you will learn to:
- See and approach your work from a systems perspective
- Understand key concepts and tools for what it means to be a healthy, whole community
- Apply concrete skills for implementing Whole Measures, including answering these questions:
▪ What is the ultimate goal of our change effort?
▪ Who are the key stakeholders for this change effort?
▪ How do I involve stakeholders in decision-making?
▪ What is the overall process we will use in this change effort?
▪ What specific activities will we use to engage stakeholders?
▪ How do we effectively facilitate stakeholder conversations?
