Participants in the April 2014 Becoming a Measurement Guide Training joined us from the Virgin Islands Developmental Disabilities Council and the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link.  Yellow Wood has been offering professionals with facilitation skills the opportunity to become Measurement Guides and learn how to deliver You Get What You Measure® since 2002.  You Get What You Measure® is a values-based, participatory approach to strategic planning that uses systems thinking.

I've been reading through the materials again, using the Key Leverage Indicators exercise... and becoming more familiar with WealthWorks.  It is all making a lot of sense to me.  And, will be really helpful over the next couple of months as we undertake more strategic planning work and development of measures. - Tara Kelly, Executive Director, Rutland Area Farm and Food Link (RAFFL)
