Leadership SIG: An Appreciative Inquiry project; Transforming the Leadership Development SIG into a Community of Practice

Appreciative Inquiry is a different type of OD thinking; ambiguity can be embraced, and organizations can continually learn and grow. Many of today’s prominent OD interventions are geared to fix those things, which are not preforming up to expectations. Appreciative Inquiry captures the things an organization is doing well, understanding there are many ways to get to the desired result. Then strives to create a new reality through future possibilities. Building on Our January meeting, we will conduct the first focus group to examine the Leadership Development SIG to explore successes, then start determining our core for our Community of Practice.
