L/MWS (1) Power of Appreciative Inquiry

2 DAYS

Appreciative Inquiry proposes that within every human grouping or system, people have experienced periods of exceptional performance and achievement, although these times tend to be forgotten.  Appreciative creates a framework for systematically recalling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotions that were present during these "peak experiences" or exceptional achievements.  It is through the exploration of "what has gone right" that new insights can be arrived at which can refashion the culture of a system. Dr. David Cooperrider, Case Western Reserve University
