Appreciative Inquiry AI
When organizations commit to host an appreciative inquiry process, they are sponsoring a culture of inclusiveness and positivity. Equally impactful for a small team as for a summit of several hundred, the process begins with a consensus building stage for deciding what wants and needs to emerge. This establishes agreement for desired outcomes and aligns stakeholders as they (re)-discover the positive core of their organization. From that point forward, using dialogue and storytelling, people co-create a dream, design a process for implementation and align individual efforts for a shared destiny.
Appreciative Inquiry has the power to uplift, engage, and inspire collaboration.

LEARN MOREAppreciative Inquiry deliberately seeks to discover people’s exceptionality – their unique gifts, strengths, and qualities. It actively searches and recognizes people for their specialties – their essential contributions and achievements. And it is based on principles of equality of voice – everyone is asked to speak about their vision of the true, the good, and the possible. Appreciative Inquiry builds momentum and success because it believes in people. It really is an invitation to a positive revolution. Its goal is to discover in all human beings the exceptional and the essential. Its goal is to create organizations that are in full voice! ~ Cooperrider, D.L. et. al
