One of the most difficult challenges in maturity models-based improvement programs and other “best practices” adoption & implementation projects is to ensure the successful and lasting necessary changes to transform the organizational culture.

A Change of Approach in the Approach to Change

Change, being an unavoidable part of people’s and organizations’ vital experiences, has not only become a ‘fashionable’ topic in management literature and practice, but its impacts to organizations’ success and sustainability has become so critical and recognized that change management is today one of the most demanded and influential discipline in the practice executive management. The scope of what we call today “change management” is so rich and vital that some management disciplines such as leadership, coaching, professional and/or organizational development almost base all their “raison d’être” in creating sustainable changes.

Due to the remarkable importance of change and of its successful management to organizations, business and social entities, as well as to individual professionals, at SpaceMinds we are continuously researching, studying and piloting new approaches to deal with different aspects of change successfully, frequently combining or integrating different perspectives and/or disciplines. Proposals to address change from a positive perspective stand out among the recent emergent tendencies with more future promises of application. This growing interest in positive change management and leadership is due in part, to the fact that numerous initiatives already exist for dealing with the negatives: problems, urgencies and crises; and most smart organizations and people instead of “wasting” their energies (limited time and resources) in doing the same thing again and again are willing to try out innovative ways on the increasing evidence of their advantages with respect to traditional change management. This way, more than trying to focus our attention on the existing problems; these new approaches look for improvement opportunities around the positive values and strengths, promoting an effective vehicle to change the approach to change management itself.

It is in this emergent and promising context of positive change management where the practice of Appreciative Inquiry is gaining more and more attention as one of the most practical, relatively easy-to-implement and solid results-producing proposals with more future perspectives. Appreciative Inquiry is therefore one of the topics of this program, both explicitly and integrated into the approach to deliver the workshop itself.
