Appreciative Inquiry redefines the way companies manage change. Rather than focusing on problems or obstacles, it leverages an organisation’s core strengths and distinctive capabilities. Appreciative Inquiry asks all relevant and affected stakeholders to rediscover the best of ‘what is’ and to innovate about ‘what could be’.

This workshop is your invitation to discover ‘the other AI’ – a human science-based methodology and theory of change that has been refined over decades of impact with companies such as Apple, the National Grid and thousands of other international organisations part of the UN Global Compact.

In this interactive workshop, you will strengthen your leadership skills and learn how to turn change into something which inspires from within, builds on strength and brings people together – rather than something which triggers fear or resistance.
