Learn How To Stimulate and Lead Positive Organizational Innovation With Two New Workshops For Change Management and Transformation

Whether you’re new to the theory and practice of Appreciative Inquiry, or if you’ve gotten some experience and are ready to move to the next level, these local workshops can help you transform your organization and implement positive change.

Workshop #1: The Foundations And Practice Of Appreciative Inquiry is a practical, interactive session that introduces the practice and philosophy of AI and teaches implementers how to initiate positive change in their organizations. Held over a 4-day period, this hands-on, learn-by-doing workshop is designed for anyone seeking to obtain a solid grounding in the theory and practice of Appreciative Inquiry:

Workshop #2: The Advanced Appreciative Inquiry Practitioner Clinic is designed to help those with some AI experience take their skills to the next level. This advanced clinic is targeted toward senior managers and consultants who have a basic grounding in AI and are engaged in implementing AI initiatives in business, government, non-profit organizations and communities. Because of the advanced nature of this session, participants are expected to have already attended an AI Foundations workshop and have some experience using the process of Appreciative Inquiry.

Creating A Dialogue Culture

Introduce a better means for gaining consensus in your organization and streamlining the process of culture change with a one-day workshop: The 4 Ds Of A Dialogue Culture. Designed to introduce teams and cross-functional groups to the power of di·a·logic, participants in the workshop will learn the value of Diversity (being together), Dialogue (talking together), and Discovery (thinking together) in order to be able to Deliver (act together). When applied, these practices build a stronger corporate culture and ensure effective conversation and healthy relationships at work, at home, and in the community.

Participants in The 4 Ds Of A Dialogue Culture will learn to:

• Value diversity of thought and experience in the workplace.
• Manage their own ‘Trigger Styles’ in order to stay in dialogue with others.
• Identify how they contribute to miscommunication, and what they can do about it.
• Effectively bring up and address difficult-to-discuss issues.
• Sustain healthy relationships at work and at home.

• Improve individual performance.
• Increase personal accountability.
• Enhance problem-solving capabilities.

Use The 4 Ds Of A Dialogue Culture to make your organization a place where employees feel valued, where diversity is respected and seen as an opportunity, and where more time is spent focused on and committed to the job.

Contact Executive Forum today to find out how the 4 Ds can improve communication in your organization.
