Holding Change Assessments

Holding Change Assessments

Developed in partnership with expert researcher Zuri Tai, these tools can help people understand where they are related to a set of skills or conditions. Included is a facilitation self-assessment, a co-facilitation assessment, facilitation intake questions, and a mediation assessment.

A process to help you assess your group’s culture, functionality, emergent strategy capacity, purpose, and the presence of power dynamics.
