Business

Working in today’s competitive, fast-paced environment requires a broad foundation of leadership, communication, and people skills. Imagine what might be possible if your organization’s members were fully engaged and utilizing their strengths to collectively achieve shared visions.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an approach to planning and positive change that is highly participative and energizing. AI invites stakeholders to discover and leverage their own strengths, envision what the organization could become, and construct actionable items to achieve shared outcomes. Appreciative Inquiry builds new skills in staff members, develops new leaders, encourages a culture of inquiry, and helps create shared vision and purpose for your organization.
