17. What is Appreciative Inquiry?
• Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a way of looking at
organisational change which focuses on doing
more of what is already working, rather than
focusing on fixing problems. It mobilises
strategic change by focusing on the core
strengths of an organisation, then using those
strengths to reshape the future.
• AI is both a high-participation learning process
to identify and disseminate best practices, and
a way of managing and working that fosters
positive communication and can result in the
formation of deep and meaningful
relationships
