“When we encounter ADVERSITY, we react by thinking about it. Our thoughts rapidly congeal into BELIEFS. These beliefs may become so habitual we don’t even realize we have them unless we stop to focus on them. And they don’t just sit there idly; they have CONSEQUENCES.” — Dr Martin Seligman
DESIGN THINKING + APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY (DT&AI)DESIGN THINKING (DT)Developed by Tim Brown, Design Thinking incorporates the concept of creative thinking in action as a response to ill defined problems and issues. Rather than focusing on defining and scoping the problem, Design Thinking starts with a solution or end goal, and works towards what could be achieved. “Thinking like a designer can transform the way you develop products, services, processes—and even strategy.” — Tim Brown
APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY (AI)Appreciative Inquiry was adopted from work done by earlier action research theorists and practitioners and further developed by Dr David Cooperrider and Suresh Srivastva. Cooperrider and Srivastva suggest that an organisation is a miracle to be embraced rather than a problem to be solved. “Appreciative Inquiry is revolutionising the field of organisation development and change.” — Robert Quinn, University of Michigan
GOODBYE SWOT FOREVERSurely it's time to get past the SWOT analysis that can often leave people dejected feeling there is a huge burden of tasks to carry. The SWOT reminds everyone of the organisation’s weaknesses whereas this combined approach harnesses the positive power of your organisation. This course synergises these two proven innovative problem solving methodologies. You’ll be surprised at the depth of creative solutions derived from this integrated approach. The workshop energises people because it works from the end goal and avoids the paralysis by analysis dynamic. The creative thinking in action quickly engages people and generates animated discussion and participation. Everyone leaves in a positive frame of mind and this positivity filters through the senior leadership team and the organisation.
