In this article, instead of describing a single case, I am going to abstract from a series of cases of where I and others have used appreciative inquiry for team building. In this paper I focus on a specific application of appreciative inquiry that I call the "best team" inquiry, and discuss where it is and isn’t useful and why.

Are These the Top 10 Talent Management Trends for 2013? It’s that time of year for resolutions, predictions, and reflections back on all that has happened during this past year.
Of all of these, it is the New Year’s predictions that are both the most interesting AND the most difficult to get your hands around. After all, who has a crystal ball that works well enough to help us get a good fix on the future, anyway?

Forecasting “the landscape for the coming year” So, take it for what it’s worth. Appreciative Inquiry: Tapping into the River of Positive Possibilities. By Herb Stevenson Background David Cooperrider realized that most organizations are predisposed towards “what is wrong” within the organization. He attributed this predisposition to the inculcated problem-solving mentality of the scientific method which tends to ignore “what is working”, “has gone well”, and “does not need fixed” components of the organization. In developing Appreciative Inquiry, Cooperrider refocused the attention away from the critical, more pessimistic perceptions of the organization to the supportive, more optimistic behaviors. In doing so, he sought to harness the untapped creative energies by redirecting the attention away from object relations problem solving and towards an appreciative inquiry of the stories of success held by the people within the organization.

The technology of appreciative inquiry as a social research method and as an organization development (OD) intervention are evolving differently. What is Appreciative Inquiry? Appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider & Srivastva, 1987), a theory of organizing and method for changing social systems, is one of the more significant innovations in action research in the past decade.
