Plan of action

Ambiguity causes havoc in communications. Due to our cultural upbringing and our conditioning, we perceive the world differently to everyone else. Our clear as crystal instructions are clear as mud to other people. By developing contrast skills, we will learn to chip away at the edge of our perceptive world and see a much bigger picture.

“Appreciative Inquiry is revolutionising the field of organisation development and change.”
— Robert Quinn, University of Michigan

Appreciative Inquiry was adopted from work done by earlier action research theorists and practitioners and further developed by Dr David Cooperrider and Suresh Srivastva. Cooperrider and Srivastva suggest that an organisation is a miracle to be embraced rather than a problem to be solved.

“When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don’t even realise we have them unless we stop to focus on them.”
— Dr Martin Seligman

Frequently Asked Questions about Using Tailored Appreciative Inquiry Courses as Strategic Tools

What’s in it for us?

Your facilitator will help you visualise your three biggest challenges from different perspectives. A SWOT analysis can often leave people dejected, feeling there is a huge burden of tasks to carry. The SWOT reminds everyone of the organisation’s weaknesses. Whereas, an Appreciative Inquiry harnesses the positive power of your organisation. It helps you to build on existing strengths. Everyone leaves in a positive frame of mind, and this positivity filters through the senior leadership team and the organisation.

How does it work?

A step-by-step approach is as follows:

  • Leadership team meets as a group
  • 3 biggest challenges agreed
  • Facilitator explains the AI problem-solving model
  • No more than 45 minutes is allowed on each area which avoids dwelling and objection raising
  • Key concepts captured and reported
  • Facilitation session ends (a max of 3 hours)

Where does it take place?

Your boardroom is ideal. We need a whiteboard and 3 flip charts. Participants are supplied with wind-up mice and workbooks.

Who is the facilitator?

We have accredited facilitators in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. We can send you a bio of a facilitator who has extensive experience facilitating sessions to senior leaders within your industry.

How long does the session last?

The course is usually run as a 3-hour course. A morning start time is preferred.

Why bother?

Just imagine if you find some new solutions to tackling your persistent challenges. This is a completely different way of framing your key challenges.

Is this course guaranteed to work?

We are so confident in this course that we even guarantee the outcomes. If you don’t believe the session helped you tackle your persistent challenges, you don’t pay our invoice, and we will send $500 to a charity of your choice. However, if as a result of the session, you implement a strategy that saves your organisation (or adds value to your organisation) of more than $500,000, you agree to pay $500 to our favourite charity, The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation. www.cncf.org The current project is supporting Tay Ninh, an orphanage for visually impaired children in Vietnam.
