An Introduction to Appreciative Inquiry: A Process for Positive Change
- Registration Closed
SUMMARY:
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an organizational development process of exploration based on the power of positive inquiry. The focus of AI involves creating a collaborative environment of discovery into what makes an organization most effective. Based on positive psychology principles, AI asks questions that ignite the positive energy within the organization rather than spotlight breakdowns and malfunctions.
Join Dr. Battisti as he offers an overview of the principles and process of AI and how they can be used within organizations to create a culture of creativity and reflective thought that enhances quality of care delivery.
A plan of action will be initiated during the presentation to begin the process of incorporating AI practices.
