What is Appreciative Inquiry (AI)?
AI is an exciting way to embrace organizational change.
Its assumption is simple: Every organization has something that works right – things that give it life when it is most alive, effective, successful, and connected in healthy ways to its stakeholders and communities. AI begins by identifying what is positive and connecting to it in ways that heighten energy and vision for change.”
“…AI recognizes that every organization is an open system that depends on its human capital to bring its vision and purpose to life.”
“… The outcome of an AI initiative is a long-term positive change in the organization.”
“… AI is important because it works to bring the whole organization together to build upon its positive core. AI encourages people to work together to promote a better understanding of the human system, the heartbeat of the organization.” *
