E2 Positive Planning: Building Your Plan and Building Support from a Positive Base
Level: Experienced

How do you involve people in planning and thus gain their support for change? The Positive Planning approach, which is based on a blend of Appreciative Inquiry and Preferred Futuring, offers members of an organization the opportunity to be involved in the process to define the future and determine how to get there. Experience the steps in the Positive Planning process in this facilitated session and learn how you can use the approach in your next planning endeavor.
