“Visioning” is a way of defining and achieving a desirable future.

It has been shown that we are more likely to reach an objective if we can “see” it and can

imagine the steps to achieve it.

A vision is an indication of where we are heading or what we would like to see

happen.

A vision creates a concept of the future you intend to inhabit.

 Appreciative Inquiry Julie?AI is the art and practice of asking questions, of asking the ‘unconditional positive question’.

The more positive the question, the longer lasting, more powerful and energised the change process. (David Cooperrider, 2007)

The underlying principle of AI is that organisations grow in the direction in which they inquire.
