The immediate criteria for evaluating our work are the abilities of co-laboratories to draw together the relevant stakeholders of a situation, elicit a comprehensive list of responses to a well-devised triggering question, generate consensus on the deep parameters of the situation, and produce effective action plans. Mid-term results are measured in the extent that participants and their constituencies follow through on the action scenarios generated in the co-laboratories. Long-term results are measured in the vitality of the participating groups and their effectiveness in influencing the problematic situation.
