AI Practitioner: Positive Institutions
Ready to re-imagine how to approach change leadership and organizational transformation? Champlain's very own Dr. Lindsey Godwin and Dr. David Cooperrider co-authored the introduction to AI Practitioner's February 2022 edition of their International Journal of Appreciative Inquiry. In this issue, you'll learn how to approach the transformation of organizations as a leader and you'll come to understand the five positive institution interventions, which include:
- Applying biomimicry as a discipline for the design of positive institutions
- Leveraging the AI “whole-system-in-the-room” process to create sustainable design factories
- Engaging in “strategic convening” to create win-wins and play at larger scales of impact
- Creating strengths-based megacommunities
- Conducting world inquiries to spark appreciative action-research on a global scale
Discover why today's leaders need to follow these interventions and how doing so will help them embrace the appreciative mindset, accelerate success, and scale solutions in organizations.
