New and better ways of leading change are spreading throughout the business world. As many are now experiencing, an exciting strengths-based model of positive change is rapidly spreading that puts something powerful and full of life deep inside the heart of business and organizational change. Some call it the “strengths revolution”— a movement that has profound implications for everyone interested in leading with hope and optimism, and managing sustainable, successful change initiatives and winning the future through the highest engagement of human strengths.
Dr. David Cooperrider is the "co-creator and pioneering thought leader" of Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a body of work that focuses on developing an organization's positive core to inspire collaborative action for strength-based organizational change. Appreciative Inquiry has been recognized as the most innovative approach in Organizational Development in the last decade.
“AI might well be the most original and fresh contribution to the field of organization development and learning in the last decade.”
W. Warner Burke,
Columbia University
“Appreciative Inquiry is revolutionizing the field of organization development and change.”
Robert Quinn,
University of Michigan
"Appreciative Inquiry is the philosophy that is allowing us to engage the hearts, minds, and souls of our people--all of our people. Only when we do that will we achieve breakthrough performance."
Cindy Frick, Former Director
Organizational Development
Roadway Express/Yellow Roadway
In this program you will learn the history of the positive change movement, understand the research basis for its success, hear breakthrough results from leading organizations, and learn the basic methodology of AI and the AI Summit
In this one day-- a packed and energizing session--you will come away with new tools, new mindsets, and stories from the field that will make a difference in your life. As a CEO of a large telephone company said following a similar session: “This has implications for everything we do as a business, literally everything we do…but I only wish I had heard these ideas when I was raising my children.”

Bringing Strengths Revolution to Your Practice:
But how do we make sense of the array of voices and new tools: from strength-finder and VIA surveys, to whole system’s Appreciative Inquiry Summits, and from the positive psychology movement (focusing on bringing out the best in people) to the use of strength-based organizational designs to build high performing businesses and industry leading stars, as well as more socially and environmentally sustainable societies? In this interactive one-day session David makes the “three circles of the strengths revolution” come alive by focusing of powerful tools at (1) the individual level (called the elevation of strengths) and (2) at the whole organization level (ways to connect, align, and magnify systemic strengths) and (3) how to design fully strength-based organizations, that is organizations that are designed for the elevation, magnification, and then the refraction of our highest human strengths out into the world, for example in the domain of creating “sustainable value”. David believes that by bringing all the strength-focusing tools and practices together—from the strength-finder and VIA tools, to the Appreciative Inquiry Summit, and now to the design of the Accelerating Strengths Network (virtual change management), that people’s change-agent skill will move to a whole new exciting and rewarding level. CEO’s respond to the positive approaches; the high engagement broadens and builds whole system capacity; and organizations come alive with more strategic innovation and passion from top to bottom when the strength-focused approaches are integrated into one unified, integral whole. David calls it change management “3.0.”
