"We emphasize five key practices that are essential to leadership: reading and reflection, appreciative inquiry, emotional intelligence, action learning, and developing the presence of a leader." - Gail Williams. Programme Director. NASA's Leadership Alchemy programme So, what is Appreciative Inquiry? Appreciative Inquiry is a process which turns traditional problem solving on its head. Instead of finding ways to solve a pressing problem, it identifies and builds upon the best of what already exists within an organisation or team, then enhancing this to pursue dreams and possibilities of what could be; simply put, Appreciative Inquiry is a paradigm shift, an energising and enjoyable alternative in change management. The traditional 'problem focus' implies there is an ideal (“What’s in the way of what we want?”) - Appreciative Inquiry, on the other hand, accesses that ideal state directly. It provides innovation through understanding and expanding what is working well. The Appreciative Inquiry process is so versatile, it can be applied to any business issue that involves people This introductory session will enable you to: • Understand how to align your teams’ strengths so that their weaknesses become irrelevant • Apply a high impact change process which deals with culture, strategy and tactics, plus structure – simultaneously • Access your organisation’s untapped collective wisdom • Create a more resilient and adaptive organisation The presenter is Bruce Ross, a leader in the field of HR who has discovered and refined ways to 'practically engage untapped brilliance' within individuals, teams, and organisations.
