Appreciative Inquiry (AI) has been used in many contexts including the revitalising of organisations (Organisational Development) and facilitating generative responses to change (Change Management). Speaking generally the material on this site contains material that reflects the positive approach inherent in AI. This will be of particular interest to people considering the future direction and focus of their organisations. The papers, presentations and tools that you will find shared on this website will bring new life and energy to intervention approaches. Of particular interest to many will be the resources (and audio/visual presentation) concerning an application of Appreciative Inquiry to Strategic Planning. (Soaring or Swotting?) There already is an excellent website that is an invaluable resource for Appreciative Inquiry practioners and the public. It is an incredibly rich source of all manner of Appreciative Inquiry related material and is enthusiastically recommended by us as the premium site for all matters AI. It is called The Appreciative Inquiry Commons (http://ai.cwru.edu ) and we repeat our support and encourage all to visit there frequently. It is is fantastic site for all matters to do with AI. We express gratitude to Case Western Reserve University for sponsoring that very valuable site. |
