Whole Measures – A Tool for Creating Change
Whole Measures offers a flexible approach to describing and measuring the relationships and impact we seek
to create in our communities and organizations. It helps us to understand how to evaluate our work in a
holistic way that aligns with our values and communicates that we are making real and lasting change. Whole
Measures provides the foundation for a highly integrated, whole systems approach that effectively embraces
a wide variety of issues such as social equity, biodiversity, human rights, ecosystem health, civic
engagement, and economic vitality.
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 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.
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?
