2. Execution of the status quo analysis/ self assessment: Assessment workshop (2nd date) Half-day moderated workshop Valuations that hold a consensus within the team (usually those that do not differ by more than 2 to 3 »marks«) are determined and their average is defined. Base: individual status quo valuations by the team members Scores evoking differences, are discussed in order to jointly agree on an appropriate score. Averages are established (If required) statements/evaluations for which participants require further information in order to answer them, are marked.

3. Execution of the status quo analysis/ self assessment: Potential and measures workshop (3rd date) Half-day moderated workshop if required: Clarification of open data and Introduction in the method of finding potentials and measures Identification of strengths and potential room for improvement based on the status quo assessment Priorisation of the improvement potentials Deriving of concrete measures based on the identified potentials Drawing up of an action plan of measures Holger Rohn - Trifolium-Beratungsgesellschaft mbH

4. Method for finding improvement potentials and measures (profile creation) Approach in seven steps: Areas with values lower than 5 or 50 % or with scores that are lower than the specific average are marked in the radar chart. This is done for all four diagrams. Questionnaires are consulted in order to identify the individual statements that were marked »good« or »poor«. These statements and the corresponding negatively evaluated appraisal category (e.g. internal communication: good planning; less good in implementation and review/follow-up) are written on cards that are subsequently pinned to the charts. The same procedure is carried out for statements with positive scores. Different colours of cards ensure transparency (e.g. red cards for areas with potential for improvement, green cards for strengths). Holger Rohn - Trifolium-Beratungsgesellschaft mbH

5. Method for finding improvement potentials and measures (profile creation)(continuation) Approach in seven steps: ... ... ... Discussion of interim findings if the situation requires. Focussing of main points within the interim results if necessary. The aim is to identify four to eight areas for potential improvement (depending on specific preconditions, efforts, costs etc.) for which action plans conceived. Example for defining lead points: all participants stick dots on cards they see as most important. Identified areas for improvement are discussed in the plenum or in small groups to work out possible measures thus making full use of all resources.

The Leonardo da Vinci project Euro Crafts 21 is carried out under the administration of plenum - society for holistic sustainable development and the Factor 10 Institute Austria. The objective of the project is to establish a significant added value in the vocational education in Austria and the participating partner countries (Finland, Germany, Slovakia, Spain and Hungary). This will be achieved through the innovation transfer of an already completed pilot project - aiming the development and testing of an overall qualification and consulting concept for sustainability management in the handicraft branch of North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany).
