Appreciative inquiry
According to Gervase R. Bushe[1] (2013) "Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a method for studying and changing social systems (groups, organizations, communities) that advocates collective inquiry into the best of what is in order to imagine what could be, followed by collective design of a desired future state that is compelling and thus, does not require the use of incentives, coercion or persuasion for planned change to occur." Developed and extended since the mid 1980s primarily by students and faculty of the Department of Organizational Behavior at Case Western Reserve University, AI revolutionized the field of organization development and was a precursor to the rise of positive organization studies and the strengths based movement in American management." Basis and Principles[edit] The Appreciative Inquiry model is based on the assumption that the questions we ask will tend to focus our attention in a particular direction. Instead of asking “What’s the problem?” Implementing AI[edit]

Learning Organizations (Peter Senge) A learning organization is the term given to a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself.[1] Learning organizations develop as a result of the pressures facing modern organizations and enables them to remain competitive in the business environment.[2] A learning organization has five main features; systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision and team learning.[3] The Learning organization concept was coined through the work and research of Peter Senge and his colleagues [4] . It encourages organizations to shift to a more interconnected way of thinking. Organizations should become more like communities that employees can feel a commitment to.[5] They will work harder for an organization they are committed to.[citation needed] Development[edit]

Le coaching autrement Après une carrière qui m’a souvent amené à accompagner des gouvernants ou des institutions de gouvernance dans leur positionnement, j’ai décidé de mettre ma capacité à accompagner la gouvernance au service de celles et ceux qui décident, entreprises ou particuliers, de se repositionner pour s’auto-gouverner avec leurs propres valeurs. Cet accompagnement prend deux formes : séances de coaching professionnel et accompagnements à la mise en place des outils de communication permettant de poser son identité professionnelle. J’ai une spécialité d’accompagnant dans le positionnement professionnel et je la concrétise avec des outils de communication numérique. Je porte en moi l’énergie de la remise en question et de l’intégrité qui me rend apte à accompagner les personnes qui veulent se rebâtir en élevant le niveau de leur valeur dans le travail. Le travail d’accompagnement que je fais dépasse souvent le cadre de la vie professionnelle.

What's worse, cash is tight, your recruitment budget is stretched to breaking point, and you strongly suspect that some of the approaches you're using just aren't working. One approach here is to focus on the things that aren't working, and think about how you can fix them. This is the conventional approach to problem-solving. Summits Blog Jason Mitchell is the head of the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab at Harvard University. He uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and behavioral methods to study how we infer the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of others (i.e., how we mentalize), as well as how we reason about counterfactual experiences. During Jason’s session on Day 1 of the 2010 Summit he explored the subject of “Making Sense of Others”.
