Hi everyone,

I've used Susan Rifkin's model a number of times many years ago. Thinking 
back, I remember using it a couple of time as a group process in the 
evaluation of projects for which increased participation was stated as an 
outcome. I had each individual on the stakeholder committee complete the 
scales independently, then facilitated a groups discussion comparing and 
their various ratings. After a thorough discussion, they completed the 
scales together creating a picture of participation in the project. It was a 
great learning and discussion tool. I would definitely use it again if the 
opportunity arose.

Best regards,

Susan Lilley
