WORKSHOP SYNOPSIS

Appreciative Inquiry (AI): AI is the most popular organisational development and change tool in use today. Originated in 1988 by David Cooperrider (Professor at the prestigious Weatherhead School of Management), AI helps us move away from a problem approach to a focus on strengths: it facilitates a move away from a “what’s wrong with me or the situation” attitude to “what’s right with me or the situation” attitude. By “appreciating” and building on our strengths (whilst being mindful of our weaknesses) we achieve the dream of what we could be. AI also produces a sense of psychological safety at work where people are free to express themselves.

In this interactive and experiential session you will be given a full understanding of both AI so that you will be able to immediately use them in your life and work.
