3 Cs of Change

Consciousness, Conviction, and Commitment must be identified for both individuals and institutions as part of transformational change leading to excellence and equity. The 3 Cs of Change tool provides a simple and replicable platform for assessment. Using The 3 Cs of Change, both individuals and systems can determine where they are in the journey and decide where they want to go.

Conviction

  • Mental models
  • Beliefs

Commitment
