​
Why the Appreciative Inquiry Method Works to Generate Fresh, Big, Important Solutions to Big Challenges
​
Developed at Case Western University by David Cooperrider in 1997 the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Model is for organizational improvement change initiatives
The foundational principle of the model is change within an human system, such as a business organization, rested on four principles, starting with appreciation and questioning, to envision and design the new.
​
Contrary to the traditional problem-solving approaches a problem(s) exists, it less than ideal to have a small group of people, create a list of changes that must happen to solve the program.
​
The Appreciate Inquiry model looks at organizational issues and concerns in a significantly different way.
​
Rather than focusing on problems to fix, management looks for what is working well in their organization. Then, the teams are invited into the process to envision what it might be like if the well-functioning means and methods working could be expanded throughout the organization to build upon the best. This then puts the focus on identifying what is required in terms of both tasks and resources to bring about the desired improved future.
Comparison between traditional deficit, root cause problem-solving change method and the modern Appreciative Inquiry Change Model
​
The starting principle for any appreciative inquiry change program starts by creating safety for communication and ideation from direct, specific, honest appreciation between team members.
