This session introduces a model for applying Appreciative Inquiry to a custom-designed change initiative in a graduate business course “Organizational Transformation”. In the course, we introduce Appreciative Inquiry as a change methodology. It is specifically selected for the action learning projects because the very nature of a strengths-based approach effectively pushes graduate students out of their comfort zone. In the session, we will replicate the student experience with a brief introduction of AI and an appreciative interview practice. Participants will be provided with course syllabus, project requirements and insights into providing formative feedback along the way.
