Organizational Learning

Organizational Learning

As thought leaders in the field of the strength-based approach and Appreciative Inquiry (AI), we offer a variety of learning and development opportunities that allow individuals to make mindful choices, to see the potential of future situations, and achieve positive change in themselves and their colleagues. Through AI, participants are encouraged to leverage their strengths to achieve the desired results. We do not teach nor do we offer mindset training; our solutions are offered by way of facilitation of self-empowerment. All learners will acquire hands-on techniques and tips to use in future situations.

In-house Programs

We design and facilitate programs to enable our clients to create a culture of inquiry and learning. Sample topics include Appreciative Leadership Development Program© (ALDP©), team building and collaboration, talent development, people engagement, positive workplace and organizational wellbeing, strategic planning, project management, customer service, mentoring, and coaching.

Strength-based Action Learning

Through the use of small groups, communities and organizations can create innovations that support positive change initiatives. Whether for performance enhancement, innovative project implementation, or culture reinvention, Strength-based Action Learning helps organizations generate concrete positive impacts while developing their people simultaneously.

Coaching

Our coaching method is based on a co-creative process for human transformation. Through collaborative inquiry, dialogue and reflection, it enables people to integrate the best of their past with their strengths, values, and visions; and to bring forth positively powerful performance and results. It can support people to tackle organizational challenges and achieve greater results by leveraging individual and collective strengths. We offer one-on-one, group and team coaching to help accelerate individual and organizational growth.

Keynotes

We present keynotes to open the door to change among individuals, teams, communities and organizations. Our speeches bring a message of possibility and appreciation, and are suitable for healthcare providers, educators and service providers, as well as religious, interfaith, government and business leaders.

Support to Change Agents

We also offer customized practitioner training programs, one-on-one mentoring, shadow consulting and professional practitioner certification program for in-house change agents and leaders to help create positive change in their organizations. Our support programs provide hands-on tips and techniques to guide our clients through positive change initiatives.

Appreciative Inquiry is the study of what gives life to human systems when they function at their best. This approach to personal change and organization change is based on the assumption that questions and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes, and dreams are themselves transformational.

Appreciative Inquiry works because it liberates power. It unleashes both individual and organizational power. It brings out the best of people, encourages them to see and support the best of others, and generates unprecedented cooperation and innovation.

Appreciative Inquiry posits that organizations move in the direction of what they consistently ask questions about, and that the more affirmative the questions are, the more hopeful and positive the organizational responses will be.

The ultimate paradox of Appreciative Inquiry is that it does not aim to change anything. It aims to uncover and bring forth existing strengths, hopes, and dreams—to identify and amplify the positive core of the organization. In this process, people and organizations are transformed. With Appreciative Inquiry, the focus of attention is on positive potential—the best of what has been, what is, and what might be. It is a process of positive change.

Appreciative leaders hold each and every person in positive regard. They look through appreciative eyes to see the best of people. They seek to treat all individuals positively, with respect and dignity, no matter their age, gender, race, religion, or culture—even education or experience. They believe that everyone has positive potential—a positive core of strengths and a passionate calling to be fulfilled—and they seek to bring that forward and nurture it.
