Appreciative Inquiry Updates

A Phase 1 Conversation

One
of our UVAFinance teammates and their partner, a stakeholder, shared a
summary of their conversation. They and their partner both expressed a strong belief in continuous improvement and, with that in mind, see an
opportunity for a culture shift toward risk-taking:

“We both enjoy having the
freedom to take initiative when we see something that could be improved. We
both have experienced the satisfaction of identifying a solution and
implementing it – with great success!”

Further Reading

We have a list of books for further reading on Appreciative Inquiry, as suggested by our strategic planning consultant, Dan Saint. A few of these books are available to read online, and we have ordered 10 copies of The Thin Book of SOAR for UVA Finance use.
