The Transformative Power of Appreciative Inquiry
PACS026
Appreciative Inquiry (AI)
is an inspiring approach
to organization change, development, and action research. In contrast to problem-based approaches that focus on what is wrong, AI focuses on what is working well (the appreciative stance) by engaging people in sharing their stories (the inquiry). This shift generates energy and enthusiasm within the group, motivating it to move toward its goals. You will examine AI theory, the phases of the AI model, and explore ways to apply AI in your organization.
