To achieve transformational change, a transformational approach is needed. The Appreciative Inquiry (AI) summit is a method that has been used to achieve transformational change in business for at least 20 years, but this innovative alternative approach is unknown to nursing. At the University of Virginia School of Nursing, an AI Summit was designed to bring all staff, faculty, student representatives, and members of the community together to rewrite the school's strategic plan. New connections within the school, the university, and the community were made when 135 participants engaged in the appreciative, 4-step AI process of discovering, dreaming, designing, and creating the school's future. During the summit, 7 strategic teams formed to move the school toward the best possible future while building on the existing positive core. This article describes 10 steps needed to design an AI summit and implications for using this method at other schools of nursing.
要实现变革性的改变,需要采取变革性的方法。欣赏式探究(Appreciative Inquiry,AI)峰会是一种至少在商业领域已经被用于实现变革性改变的方法,但这种创新的替代方法在护理领域还不为人知。在弗吉尼亚大学护理学院,设计了一场 AI 峰会,旨在召集所有员工、教师、学生代表和社区成员,共同重写学校的战略计划。当 135 名参与者参与到欣赏式、四步 AI 过程——发现、梦想、设计和创造学校的未来时,学校、大学和社区内部建立了新的联系。在峰会期间,成立了 7 个战略团队,以在现有积极核心的基础上,推动学校向最好的未来发展。本文描述了设计 AI 峰会所需的 10 个步骤,以及在其他护理学院使用这种方法的意义。
