[Ailist] Appreciative Human Resources Policy & Procedure

[Lionel Boxer]

Because policies and procedures can be harnessed in legal pursuits, it
is necessary to craft them in the sort of "careful" way that may be at
odds with AI.  This is not to say that AI cannot be used to consider the
issues surrounding policy and procedures, but the crafting of the
documents should be done with sensitivity to legal issues and from an
operational perspective.

Subject: Appreciative Human Resources Policy & Procedure

Hello everyone.

I¹ve just rejoined the list after being away for some time.
I hope this request has not been made recently.

In my work with Canadian First Nations communities, I¹ve used
Appreciative
Inquiry extensively as a mode of inquiry into best experiences of
traditional practices, and as a change facilitation process.
Not surprisingly, Appreciative Inquiry fits with traditional First
Nations
values.

Over the next few months I will be working with the leadership of a
First
Nations community who will be rethinking their Human Resources policies.
Has anyone out there developed Appreciative Human Resources Policy &
Procedure?
I¹d be delighted if folks were willing to share examples of their
organization¹s Policy & Procedure - and a narrative account of how they
got
there.

Much thanks,
Doug
