The Five Stages of Vision Inquiry

The video tutorial explains a five-stage process developed by Ryder and colleagues, focusing on appreciative inquiry. The stages include Define, Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny. Each stage builds on the previous one, starting with defining clear goals, appreciating existing strengths, envisioning an ideal future, planning to achieve that future, and finally motivating and committing to the vision. The approach shifts from focusing on deficits to leveraging strengths, inspiring individuals and organizations to realize their dreams.
