Who is the product for?

Anyone really! but most often used with learning and development teams managing change programmes or frontline practitioners wanting to tap into the strengths of the communities they serve.

The Process

We train a partnership of local frontline practitioners in the 5 Ds of Appreciative Inquiry.  You can invest in the one day programme which provides the knowledge of AI or you can invest in a support package to help teams put their new knowledge into practice.

The support package consists of 10 days of expertly facilitated meetings to enable the learning to shape practice and to take the learning and turn it into a work plan with communities.
