Before finalizing your transition framework:

- Does the framework honor both the difficulty and opportunity of transitions?
- Have you included exercises for all three phases (ending, middle, beginning)?
- Are the visioning exercises grounded in values rather than just goals?
- Is there appropriate balance between planning and staying open?
- Have you acknowledged that transitions are non-linear processes?
