Measurement of the impact of The BSL occurs on three levels.

1. Concept Workshops Content
   Through the four Concept Workshop modules, participants are exposed to new ideas, methods, and solutions to problems. To measure knowledge change, a pre- and post-test method is used, sampling the main concepts and tools explored. Participants self-score the pre-test for immediate feedback – they start the series knowing what they don't know and with a heightened desire to fill in these gaps. The post-test shows the degree to which The BSL focal point concepts were established.
    
2. Individual Participant Perspective and Attitude
   In addition to gaining content knowledge, participants will experience a shift in perspective and attitude regarding their view of the organization as a whole, and particularly their willingness to collaborate for great overall performance. Their perceptions and attitudes are identified using a short, proprietary instrument that asks them to identify with statements made about their organization and with statements that describe different behaviors that represent a range of commitment levels and collaborative tendencies. This instrument also is administered twice, at the start of the program and at the end of the team Application Projects.
    
3. Action Learning Project Results and Impact
   Each team will construct a "before" and "after" project summary focused on the essential value-adding change brought to the organization. Most projects allow change to be quantified in monetary terms, at least in part. However, teams will be encouraged to pursue projects that may not be easily cost-justified if the projects promise other value to the organization. The value of each project will be thoroughly described and documented. The combined impact of the four application projects will be determined for overall BSL program evaluation purposes.
