steps:
- headline: Define the affirmative topic
description: >-
A steering group chooses positive, strength-based topics to inquire into
— for example "moments of exceptional collaboration" rather than
"fixing dysfunction."
- headline: Discovery interviews
description: >-
Participants pair up and interview each other about peak experiences
related to the topic, listening for what made those moments possible.
- headline: Dream
description: >-
Small groups share stories and craft a shared image of what the
organisation could look like if those strengths were amplified.
- headline: Design
description: >-
Groups propose specific arrangements — structures, practices,
relationships — that would support the dream.
- headline: Destiny
description: >-
Individuals and groups commit to concrete next actions they will take,
building on the design proposals.
outcome: >-
The group identifies strengths and commits to bold, shared aspirations
grounded in real lived experience.
practice: >-
The affirmative topic is everything. If framed as a problem, the summit
collapses into complaint. Spend real time crafting the topic wording.
