WHAT IS IT? Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a powerful new vehicle for energizing positive change in an organization's human, ecological and economic functioning. Its aim is to discover, expand, and sustain an organization's root causes of success. AI is particularly useful in turbulent environments and has been used very successfully with complex changes like transformation, restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, and for relational processes such as union/management relationship, teambuilding, capacity building and diversity. Appreciative Inquiry is the study and exploration of what gives life to human systems when they function at their best. This approach to organizational change is based on the assumption that questions and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes and dreams are themselves transformational.
