SOARING – A strengths based approach to strategic thinking and planning with John Loty | Monday August 13, 2012

SOAR is a positive strengths-based approach to strategic thinking and planning.  It is a development of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) philosophy and methodology. Instead of the traditional SWOT analysis, the SOAR model encourages us to identify our Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results. The goals for the 'quick' SOAR session: 1. To provide an experience of the SOAR process so that you can evaluate if SOAR would work for you or could be used by you in your particular contexts 2. To apply the SOAR model to explore the forces and factors that give life to facilitators in our work 3. To appreciatively inquire into (and perhaps be inspired by) the "root causes of success" experienced by other facilitators John Loty has worked with Appreciative Inquiry and SOAR thought leaders around the world and uses these strengths based approaches in all his work.  So come along and enjoy the experience of ‘soaring’.  For more information about AI visit:  www.appreciativeinquiry.net.au Venue: [Same Venue UTS Bldng. 10- Different Room for Aug, Sep, Oct 2012)] University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Jones Street, Ultimo corner Thomas Street.
