This highly practical, fun and interactive workshop is very different from the standard approach, because it focuses on the ‘essence‘ of Appreciative Inquiry so critical for success.
Capturing the spirit of Appreciative Inquiry makes the approach more powerful than simply applying it as a ‘mechanical technique’.
Facilitated by Sue James and Chris Bennett, this two-day workshop will also cover the theoretical foundations, key concepts, principles and practices of Appreciative Inquiry.
