Creative Leadership Development

Helping Leaders Think Beyond the Box

Positive Change Management

Change is inevitable, and the way leaders lead through times of change can have far reaching impact on organizational success. A positive and creative approach can lead to an energized workforce united to seize advantage of new opportunities that arise from change.

We help leaders effect positive change through the application of Appreciative Inquiry - an approach that taps into the imagination and ideas of employees across the organization - to gain a competitive edge in today's rapidly changing global economy.

Examples of efforts that can benefit from an appreciative inquiry summit include:

	Organizational Culture Shift
	Employee Retention
	Strategic Planning
	Customer Service

An appreciative inquiry summit brings together many voices from across the organization to help define new directions and strategies for growth. Through interviews and stories, the group collectively uncovers "the best of what is" and what gives life to a team or organization - i.e., that which should not change. From this positive foundation, the group imagines "the best of what could be" to set directions for positive change.

Appreciative Inquiry Summit for Positive Change

We coordinate the summit, facilitate the interviews and brainstorming components, and analyze the data to uncover patterns with an objective eye. We help leaders create questions designed to tap into the imagination and ideas of employees to effect positive change that unites and excites rather than divides and discourages. These results are then provided to the leadership team to assist with developing an agenda for positive change. Appreciative inquiry is an effective approach anytime it is desirable to have a high level of employee buy-in to facilitate positive change.
