Overview
The organization development community is on the precipice of a revolution -- a revolution of positive change. Instead of looking at organizations as problems to be solved, Appreciative Inquiry (AI) looks to an organization as a mystery to be solved; instead of identifying problems, AI seeks to appreciate and value. AI is an attempt to generate a collective image of a new and better future by exploring the best of what is and has been. Generally speaking, AI is a strategy for intentional change that looks specifically at positive aspects of a situation. Its methods focus is not on what is wrong, or what needs to change, but rather encourages change agents to look at what works well or what is good in a workplace situation. Once evaluators understand what works well or what is good, then it's about tracking these positives and looking for ways to amplify or fan them in an effort to find avenues to develop more of these positive factors.
