Appreciative Inquiry, also known as AI, is a method for implementing change that is rooted in being positive, sharing stories of things that work well, and leveraging people’s strengths and the power of co-creation to initiate lasting, powerful changes that can make an organization the best it has ever been, because of people who care and are committed.
This comprehensive, customizable course focuses on appreciative inquiry using the 4-D model. We’ve created a tangible approach so that students will come away from the workshop ready to apply what they have learned back in their own workplaces.
Velsoft’s complete training package includes instructor delivery materials, student guides, and even marketing tools.
