About

Appreciative Inquiry is a revolutionary approach to strategic change and sustainable growth for organisations, individuals, teams, groups, projects and programmes.

AI is practiced around the world in almost any human system. To transform organisations, expand leadership vision, set strategy and enhance the power of teams, in coaching, project formulation, evaluations to name few. Appreciative Inquiry presents a proven approach to accelerating change in human systems by redirecting focus to core strengths and mapping ways to bring out the best in human systems and their core values.

Discover how and why Appreciative Inquiry works through case studies and illustrations. Learn how to ask the questions that open the floodgates for positive change, engage the whole system and generate measurable results.

We use experiential learning as the main approach in all of our workshops. Experiential learning is a holistic perspective that combines experience, perception, cognition and behaviour. Thus it is a powerful partner for organisations and individuals seeking to maximise their performance. NTL has been the premier source of experiential learning since 1947 when it was founded by, amongst others, Kurt Lewin who was a seminal theorist who deepened our understanding of groups, experiential learning, action research and learning which is practiced by a wide community of businesses, governments, non-profits, and educational institutions today.

We are often asked about the length of the workshops. Appreciative Inquiry is a change in paradigm and not a technique or process that can simply be learnt by reading a book or following instructions. Our many years of experience have shown us that it takes a minimum of four to five days in relatively small groups, for people to feel confident that they walk away with enough knowledge to start practicing. It takes time to understand the underlying theory, get a feel for how to use Appreciative Inquiry, experiment with applications and not least have the time and space to reflect, ask questions and get satisfactory answers.
