SOAR Framework

Resource Provided By Vantage Point

SOAR is a way to set goals based on the organizational practice of Appreciative Inquiry (AI). This vision-based approach of open dialogue invites organizational members to learn and value their personal histories, the history of their organization and its culture. The AI approach allows them to:

• Build on their strengths (the positive core).
• Discover opportunities.
• Visualize goals and strategic alternatives.
• Identify enabling objectives.
