Appreciative Inquiry training or facilitation
Appreciative Inquiry is a highly flexible tool for working with groups of people. It is possibly the most revolutionary approach to business improvement, change management and leadership around today. As well as supporting the creation of strategy, AI is a method that enables ownership of change, thereby minimizing the usual stress and upheaval of change and creating greater effectiveness. 
Appreciative Inquiry builds on elements that already work brilliantly
At its heart, Appreciative Inquiry acknowledges that there are always things that “work well” within every organisation, team or community. By building on “what works well”, and using a tried and tested blueprint of process, Appreciative Inquiry supports positive change, organisational improvement, creation of new services and products.
People take the lead – people own the change
Because the Appreciative Inquiry process ensures that people are involved at every step of the change or improvement process, it means that positive change is more likely to come about, be swifter and be less costly than using other routes for change. Appreciative Inquiry taps into the human potential of every team member, ensuring that people have a voice and a part to play in the process.
Business, community, organisational change….
