Date: Thursday, February 2, 2012
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 PM (EST)
Location: Online training
Cost:$30

Learn how to use Appreciative Inquiry as a tool for collaboration and innovation. Take the lead in applying a new, creative and positive approach to driving change ranging from identifying cost reduction strategies to streamlining service delivery systems, or to developing shared services and consolidations to more effectively engaging the community in meaningful ways.

In this session, you will learn:

  • What Appreciative Inquiry is.
  • How it can be used to drive governmental and organizational change and innovation.
  • How it can be used to more effectively engage the community in meaningful collaboration to solve challenging problems.
  • How to ask the kinds of questions that excite and engage people in the process of change and innovation.

The webinar will be presented by James Davy, Director of the Rutgers Center for Applied Appreciative Inquiry and a former public official for nearly 30 years, and Dr. Robert Shick, Associate Professor and Director of Executive and International Programs at the Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration.
