Complexity Tools and Methods

ComplexityAlthough not directly related to Appreciative Inquiry, this one day workshop may be of interest to the AI community (those in Victoria anyway) because the skills and methods covered can provide useful additional resources for people and organisations using the Appreciative Inquiry framework.

Taking place on 8 May in South Yarra, Victoria, it is designed for people addressing complex challenges such as improving health, educational attainment, employment, climate change, crime and recidivism rates, developing new business markets or changing organisational culture.

Based on complexity principles, the tools and methods in this workshop are specifically designed for working with complex issues, multiple stakeholders and differing perspectives.

Facilitators are Laurel Sutton and Ian Smith, both accredited and highly experienced Cognitive Edge practitioners.

Unleashing Appreciative Intelligence®

Unleashing Appreciative IntelligenceAnnouncing a new public workshop for 2015 from BJ Seminars International: Unleashing Appreciative Intelligence®

Appreciative Intelligence®  enables people to be highly successful in work and in life;  to come up with fresh, innovative ideas, inspire others to join with them on their journey towards desired goals –  and ultimately reach those goals in spite of challenges or barriers encountered along the way. People with this kind of intelligence not only ‘see the oak in the acorn‘ but they do what it takes to make that oak tree grow and thrive.

So how can you be similarly successful? How can you identify and expand your own capacity for Appreciative Intelligence®? This interactive, hands-on workshop will show you how, offering highly practical exercises to help you do so.
