The greatest expense is the investment of time and resources into activities that do not support company goals or the mission. In addition\, employees show up\, do their work\, and go home. This results in missed opportunities. Without a context for their work\, employees are not inspired to think or plan creatively about process improvement\, innovation\, or cost savings. And anyone who has tried knows\, it can be a struggle to get teams to buy-in to strategic goals\, much less think and work in alignment with those goals.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1699904410182{margin-top: -10px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”] \nBOOTCAMP DATES AND TIMES:\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Strategic Conversation Bootcamp consists of two virtual sessions with each session lasting 2.5 hours.

This means portions of the course will be delivered synchronously (in real-time through services like Zoom) and asynchronously (you read and participate in activities and exercises at a time/pace/place that works best for you to be ready for the synchronous session). The combination of synchronous and asynchronous work will equate to 26 training hours (same as our face-to-face AIFT program). Participants will need to complete the program in its entirety to be eligible to earn their AI Facilitator Certification\, this includes participating in all synchronous sessions. \nPlease note: the synchronous portions of the vAIFT are highly experiential and will not be recorded. The vAIFT Trainers will be utilizing breakout rooms to develop community and trust amongst participants\, conduct paired interviews\, and engage in small group discussions and reflections.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Virtual Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator Training (vAIFT)© Accelerated is a four-day online certification program (see specific\, detailed schedule below) that engages participants to learn about the foundations and principles of Appreciative Inquiry as well as provide the skills necessary to facilitate appreciative inquiry sessions in all human systems (large or small). This course teaches the basics of Appreciative Inquiry (e.g. principles\, 5-Ds\, supporting theory and research\, etc.) but delves deeper by providing experiential exercises that teach participants how to define the topic of inquiry\, practice positive framing\, work with core teams\, design and field test an interview protocol\, and more… \nThis Appreciative Inquiry foundations course includes mini-lectures\, and experiential learning (individual\, pairs\, trios\, small group\, and large group) as well as auditory and visual materials to enhance the learning experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Training is designed for:” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Leaders in businesses and corporations\, community development\, educational organizations\, governmental organizations\, and nonprofit organizations–in short\, anyone who wants to learn how to facilitate Appreciative Inquiry.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”vAIFT Training Segments:” font_container=”tag:h5|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]AIFT is divided into 4 ‘segments’.

The learning management system will be accessible to you to review materials for a full year after the vAIFT. The purpose of your practicum is to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the principles of Appreciative Inquiry\, its various applications\, what you learned\, etc. Participants will submit their practicum for review by our Practicum Review Committee which consists of 2-4 seasoned Ai practitioners. It is standard practice for the panel to engage participants in a conversation (conducted virtually) about their practicum. Typically\, they will respond with questions to deepen their and the participant’s mutual understanding of\, and learning about\, AI. The practicum review is therefore a dialogical and interactive process. \nParticipants have up to one year from the date of their training to submit their practicum for review. During this time\, your trainers make themselves available to you for mentoring and support (at no additional cost) as you work through your first inquiry. Your mentoring/support can be done via telephone\, skype\, zoom\, etc. You and your trainers can arrange a time and platform in which to conduct these sessions. Learn more about our Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator Certification requirements here. \nOnce certified\, your Appreciative Inquiry Facilitator Certification lasts for 2 years. AI Certification with the Center for Appreciative Inquiry includes: \n\nAppreciative Inquiry Certification document that will be emailed to you for your records;\nCenter for Appreciative Inquiry Certification logo that you are welcome to embed on your website or include in your email signature;\nListing on our Appreciative Inquiry Directory. Your Ai Directory listing is an editable profile page that includes your photo and professional biography that highlights your specialties\, articles\, videos and testimonials.
