The Solution Focus applications movement – beyond the theory:

Solutions focus (SF) has been around for 30 years, possibly longer. First, in the world of family therapy and more recently in
organizations. Deeply researched it is an approach to help people find ways to

move beyond things they believe are preventing them from making progress, i.e.,

when they are stuck. One of the unique aspects of SF is that the client is in

charge of the change – the changes they want to make.

Hello Alan,
good to hear from you.
yes, you are right projectmanagement and IT are great areas for the SF approach.
It make a big difference to the usual approach.
Especially important in projects as it is an area where listening is so important - and taking your clients view - who is the expert on his needs.
Take care
Monika

Jumpstart into Solution Focus

You want to learn more about "Solution Focus"?
