UHasselt Professor Frank Lambrechts, Professor of organizational learning and change, and Wim Croonen, HR business and organization development expert, will facilitate a workshop on Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as an innovative strength-based approach to organization development and transformative whole system change. Participants will discover the power of AI and learn about key principles, practices, and applications. The impact of AI will be explored and highlighted by real-life cases.
