Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry is a powerful organizational development tool for workplaces, classrooms, communities, and families.

Appreciative Inquiry, known as AI, focuses on what is already working well (appreciative) by asking questions and telling stories (inquiry).

This strength’s based positive approach stimulates engagements and creativity groups to accelerate deep, sustainable positive change.

The AI process has five steps:

• Define: Choose the affirmative topic or focus for the inquiry.
• Discover: Inquire into positive moments and share stories.
• Dream: Create inspiring images of a desired future.
• Design: Innovate ways to create the ideal future.
• Destiny: Live your design and make changes as needed.

The week after one Appreciative Inquiry, a participating Member of Parliament used the Dream to open a bill on gender equity in the Canadian House of Commons.
