PM Insights Foster City Virtual Meeting: Appreciative Inquiry Management
PM Insights Foster City -
Appreciative Inquiry Management
Appreciative Inquiry focuses on the strengths of the people under management and forms processes around those strengths. This is the opposite of the conventional practices which look for deficits and seek to strengthen the skill of individuals to fulfill the deficits. The deficit focus drives negative comments which drives lower morale and turnover. A positive focus drives process changes around the good skills sets which the people possess.
Appreciative Inquiry Management, though simple in theory, is difficult to manage as it requires a shift in mindset often unattainable without coaching and feedback. It requires a strong willingness to change processes based upon the skill of the individuals within the organization. Without an agreement to provide feedback with the assumption of good intent, it is impossible to implement.
Participants will learn:
- What is Appreciative Inquiry Management?
- How one can achieve shift in mindset to enable Appreciative Inquiry?
- Examples on successful implementation and how do it in your company.

About the Instructor:
Brian Levy
Brian Levy is the President of BridgePort Digital, an organizational optimization firm specializing in bridging the gap between strategic goals and strategic execution. While others in the industry have avoided metrics, Brian has been able to consistently improve productivity by over 30% within 3 to 6 months of operation verified with predefined metrics by aligning an organization’s performance management processes to the appropriate strategic approach. He’s accomplished this by coaching executives through strategic planning and the pioneering techniques of Agile Performance Management and Strategy Management. However, his real joy is in putting his Scrum@Scale Trainer status to use in the classroom and training others in the techniques which lead to organizational optimization. That joy is most often utilized via training underrepresented minorities in careers related to software development and using his 10-year old daughter to explain Management by Acceptance concepts.
