Appreciative Inquiry (sometimes shortened to "AI") is primarily an organisational development method which focuses on increasing what an organisation does well rather than on eliminating what it does badly. Through an inquiry which appreciates the positive and engages all levels of an organisation (and often its customers and suppliers) it seeks to renew, develop and build on this. Its proponents view it as being applicable to organisations facing rapid change or growth. [ 1 ] David Cooperrider is generally credited with coining the term 'Appreciative Inquiry'. [ edit ] The Basis of the AI approach The Appreciative Inquiry model is based on the assumption that the questions we ask will tend to focus our attention in a particular direction. Some other methods of assessing and evaluating a situation and then proposing solutions are based on a deficiency model.
