THE
PROCESS:
Strength-based Change
Strength-based
Over the last ten to fifteen years, Appreciative Inquiry, Solutions Focus, Asset-based Community Development, and other strength-based approaches to organizational change have demonstrated great success. These models, and others, are part of a growing movement to assess individuals and organizations in terms of their strengths and resources instead of their weaknesses and deficits.
Increasingly, change efforts are designed to build on organizational strengths and what is working instead of fixing gaps.
Organization-wide; Collaborative
Leaders of organizational interventions are learning to capture the energy generated by an organization-wide, collaboratively developed vision rather than trying to persuade everyone to support a plan developed by a few at the top.
A Practical Process for Church Transformation
Healthy Church DNA® is an adaptation of the most useful strategies in these new organizational change models. At the same time, it is a faith-based process that affirms people, seeks the positive, builds community, maximizes the use of God-given gifts, and communicates in a way that brings out the best of a Christ-like life in everyone.
