David and Lily explore the principle Critically Assessed: “This principle conveys the company’s positive attitude towards being peer reviewed. It expresses an appreciation for criticism, which enables reflection leading to opportunities for learning.”

This principle was introduced to bolster IDEMS' commitment to reflection, learning, and continuous improvement. It underscores the value of feedback in both academic and non-academic contexts, such as open-source software and parenting programs. The discussion highlights how critical assessment is central to IDEMS’ work, encouraging a culture of openness and adaptability to enhance decision-making and foster sustainable growth and learning.
