Appreciative Inquiry
What is appreciative inquiry?
Appreciative Inquiry is a current of thought with practical applications in the
development of organizations, groups and individuals.
Traditional problem solving approaches focus on the exploration of problems in
order to discover their root causes.
In contrast, Appreciative Inquiry directs the focus toward what works, and
meaningful high-point gratifying experiences.
People act in the direction of what they think. The focus on positive experiences
develops energy, creativity, collaboration and innovative thinking.
Problems, therefore, are set in the wider positive context; they become less
important, and are outgrown by new innovative solutions.
The classic framework for the application of Appreciative Inquiry is based on a 4
steps cycle:
1. discovery (of best experiences);
2. dream (of what the future can be);
3. www.HorseEye.ro 3
3. design (of innovation);
4. delivery (implementation).
One of the founding ideas of Appreciative Inquiry is that reality is a social
construction. Reality finds its shape in the narration that happens among people
with diverse points of view.
This idea finds practical application with the involvement of people representing
different areas and hierarchical levels within organizations: "whole system in the
room".
As a process and as a mindset, Appreciative Inquiry, is useful for:
• Strategical Planning (the SOAR framework is specific for this matter);
• Organizational Change;
• Organizational Culture evolution;
• Engagement;
• Collaboration;
Note: It can be used to facilitate events/interventions with tens, hundreds or
thousands of people, or individual conversations (coaching).

Is aiming to give you the reasons why Projects Succeed; it is a “technical” yet
experiential seminar.

debates will be linked back to the essentials of project framework. Things like
project roles, leadership styles related to project roles and situations, contracts,
writing relevant requirements, project culture, project framework, etc.
