“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.

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.
