Sample Methodologies

EnCompass facilitators apply energizing, action-learning oriented methodologies that enable learning through real-time application. Examples of methodologies that we use include:

• Appreciative Inquiry. A strengths-based approach to organizational development and change. It is a means to discover the best of the past, to imagine future possibilities, and apply innovative thinking to implement ideas and actions for new directions.

• The Deep Dive. A knowledge-sharing and learning process designed by EnCompass and adapted from the work of IDEO that establishes a rich, supportive environment for appreciative learning, bold exploration, and creativity and innovation.

• Open Space Meeting Technology. A highly effective method for engaging groups to define the agenda they wish to address in a meeting. Individuals are invited to identify a topic they wish to have a discussion about, agree to convene a group for this discussion, and commit to ensuring that a record is made of the discussion.

• World Café. A method used to engage groups of people in discussions on key topics for which increased understanding, learning, or common ground are sought.
