Keynote - Accentuate the Positive - A New Change Management Approach

It's called Appreciative Inquiry. Carrie Marcinkevage (aka "Dr. CRM") from Penn State Univ is a certified Appreciative Inquiry practitioner and will overview this unique process for flipping the usual change conversation and redirecting organizational energy toward faster, more impactful, longer lasting results.
