> Appreciative Inquiry and Generative Collaborations
> – to accelerate and sustain whole system change
> The global business community has rarely faced a more pressing need  
> for whole
> system change and generative collaborations with staff, partners,  
> customers
> and communities.
> No matter what business you are in, over the coming years, you will  
> need to discover
> and unleash the extraordinary in your people, your organization and  
> your community.
> This workshop will offer you a fresh and alternative approach!
> The leaders we work with are asking these questions:
> • How can we quickly define and leverage all our strengths?
> • What will create environments of engagement that inspire and sustain
> extraordinary contributions?
> • How can we keep innovating, tapping our collective wisdom and
> resourcefulness to find solutions for the way forward?
> • How do we shift perspective, to reframe, as our markets and  
> culture ask for
> more from us?
> • What will it take for us to collaborate better, both inside our  
> organisation and
> with our customers, clients and communities?
> Discover your answers to these questions and find proven ways to tap  
> the hidden
> capacities of your whole system in this interactive one-day  
> introduction to
> Appreciative Inquiry and Strength-Based Organising.

> Appreciative Inquiry everyday

> Never has the need for collaboration been more important in our

> sustained
> collaboration. This practical, interactive 3-day workshop explores  
> the theory and
> practice of Appreciative Inquiry as a strengths-based, collaborative  
> approach to
> whole-system change and organisational effectiveness. Whether that  
> system be a
> team, a company, or a community of multiple, diverse stakeholders.
> It is designed for anyone seeking to obtain a solid grounding in AI  
> and to learn to
> effectively initiate positive collaboration and change.
> You will enrich and transform your understanding of:
> • Effective leadership and learning in the current environment
> • The impact of questions in creating desired change
