Shanna Ratner and Melissa Levy of Yellow Wood Associates presented an 8-hour You Get What You Measure® training. Identifying indicators and developing measures of progress can be a powerful tool for personal and organizational development, as well as a key to reflection and learning. Participants learned how to identify and differentiate goals from actions, create effective indicators and measures of progress that motivate further action, and apply measurement results to make better decisions. This informative, interactive workshop was an introduction to the creative process of measurement. In facilitated sessions geared to a variety of learning styles, participants worked alone or in small groups on exercises that helped them discover how identifying measures involves action and reflection, tests previous assumptions about the way the world works, and creates a new focus for their energies.
