Learning to SOAR: Creating Strategy that Inspires Innovation and Engagement

Learning to SOAR (formerly titled: Thin Book of SOAR) is about a generative approach to strategic thinking, planning, and leading that invites any person at any level in an organization to create strategy and strategic plans through shared conversations, collaboration, and a commitment to action. SOAR stands for: strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results. SOAR is a flexible framework and builds on the Appreciative Inquiry philosophy to provide a strategic dialogue process. Examples are provided on how to use SOAR at different organizational levels from individual coaching to teams, departments, divisions, and the whole organization.
