Using Appreciative Inquiry to Drive Change

Drive change by amplifying strengths, not fixing weaknesses.

Overview

Unlike traditional problem-solving models that emphasise identifying and fixing what's broken, Appreciative Inquiry harnesses positive energy to inspire innovation, collaboration and sustainable development.

This PowerShop explores the fundamentals of Appreciative Inquiry — the elements of the positive core, the four stages of the AI cycle, and the purposes and methods for putting it to work inside your team or organisation.

You'll finish with a practical, strengths-based change toolkit and a clear framework you can use to facilitate AI conversations that unlock innovation, collaboration and momentum.

Leaders looking for a positive, strengths-based approach to organisational development
