  Description:

  During this workshop, you will experience and learn the XCHANGE facilitation approach to unlocking collective wisdom at speed and scale, while maximizing engagement, learning and creativity…. all VIRTUALLY!  This approach can be used easily in the in-person environment as well. We will be using Psychological Safety and Appreciative Inquiry (AI) principles. The core factors that make AI effective are:

  • The use of positive questions to generate meaningful conversations around shared purpose, vision and actions.
  • A shift in mindset from a deficit based, negative way of thinking about what isn’t working to a positive and possibility mindset where focus is on strengths from the past, the present and a vision for the future; and
  • A shift in the structure of conversations from silo or top down. It expands the participants in the conversation to include the whole system – all the key stakeholders - by trusting the wisdom and perspectives that diversity brings to the table.
