Appreciative Intelligence®  enables people to be highly successful in work and in life;  to come up with fresh, innovative ideas, inspire others to join with them on their journey towards desired goals –  and ultimately reach those goals in spite of challenges or barriers encountered along the way. People with this kind of intelligence not only ‘see the oak in the acorn‘ but they do what it takes to make that oak tree grow and thrive.

So how can you be similarly successful? How can you identify and expand your own capacity for Appreciative Intelligence®? This interactive, hands-on workshop will show you how, offering highly practical exercises to help you do so.

I look forward to us gathering together in South Africa – a country of transformation and inspiration – where we can join as a community of practitioners and scholars to learn from each other and advance the field of strength-based work. With this setting serving as our inspiration, we will explore the cutting edge work being done around the world in Appreciative Inquiry and other strength-based methodologies so that we can take the positive revolution for change to the next level together!  David Cooperrider

[This] is what the WAIC 2015: South Africa is all about– exploring the ways that we can build exceptional partnerships across the globe to help create strength-based organizations that build a flourishing and prosperous world for all. We thank you in advance for your interest and effort to help us make this global gathering a unique event in the history of AI.Anastasia Bukashe, Conference Chairwoman
