Community Problem-Solving and Collaboration

managing change through appreciative inquiry

Mandates. Elections. Social transition. Economic evolution. Recruiting. Retirement. Retraining. As managers and leaders in the public sector, we are all familiar with the many forms of change. It comes from different places at different speeds, and for different reasons, but it always comes.

Rather than focusing on what is broken, Appreciative Inquiry (AI) turns traditional problem-solving upside down by identifying what is working, building on those strengths, and implementing the innovations that flow from collective conversation. It is a process of transformation that is applicable to personal and professional development, as well as to communities and organizations.
