Creating and Sustaining Change
Using ALIVE with its full focus range

Change is a challenge, even when it is desired. Who is affected by the change? How do
you achieve the desired effect? How do you know what that should be?
Do we risk losing something we care about? Let's start from what is right with the
organization. We have a bias toward action, both experience-based learning and
executing on intention.

A successful approach to organization change:

Affirms and builds on strengths
Involves everyone in planning for enhancing those strengths
Engages the entire system
Encourages people to envision the future
Celebrates the organization and its people
Enhances the nimbleness of the group and releases its creativity
Increases its aptitude for innovation and continuous improvement

We apply proven Appreciative Inquiry principles to change processes in organizations
and draw positive possibilities for change from people in all parts of the organization. The
people stay involved through implementation and forward into continuous improvement.
This level of buy-in and commitment from the entire organization creates success.

Dialogue throughout the organization brings everyone into the process of striving toward
the best that the organization can be. We support the discovery process, the mapping out
of the change process, the implementation decisions and execution, and we prepare you
for continual review and renewal.

We ask organizations to reaffirm or engage anew with a vision of the future. Bringing
Appreciative Intelligence to organizations and the people in them is a mindset that creates
consistent readiness for positive change.

With the common goal in mind, it is then possible and logical to determine:

strategic direction
scope of work
client selection
resources
strategic alliances
place in the environment

The organization that is flexible is also an organization that is adaptable to a changing
environment, anticipating what might lie ahead. Optimize your resources by making
continual renewal a part of your organization’s life.

We are happy to support the visioning of change and the implementation.
