I am sure that without AI we would have had staff teams getting stuck on what isn’t working and worries about differences. Kate and Andy did a great job in training our internal AI facilitators who have been running AI sessions for teams within the new organisation
She is co-founder of Positive Engagement, working with other skilled consultants who have pooled their expertise across the business, public, voluntary and academic sectors to create a dynamic and versatile team dedicated to Appreciative Inquiry.
Appreciative Inquiry is a powerful facilitation tool rapidly gaining popularity with major companies such as O2 and the BBC. Recognising AI’s suitability for the public and voluntary sectors, Kate and colleagues specialise in adapting the methodology to the specific needs of the client. Kate and colleagues also offer dedicated AI training, either in-house or via bi-annual external courses.
"The balance between theory and practice was spot on."
