About this title

Synopsis:

"The Appreciative Inquiry Summit" is about a revolutionary new method of accelerating positive organization change by involving a broad range of internal and external stakeholders in the change process. The Appreciative inquiry summit is typically a single event or series of events that bring people together to discover the organization's core competencies and strengths, envision opportunities for positive change, design the desired changes into the organization's systems, structures, strategies, and culture, and implement and sustain the change for extraordinary results. All summits have been used effectively with hundreds of organizations - corporations, non-profits, government, and communities - in a variety of applications. Executives, managers, and consultants are always looking for new high-leverage change methods that will support fast, sustainable improvements in organizational performance.
