The Essence of Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is built on the belief that "what we focus on grows." By focusing on the strengths, successes, and aspirations of an organization or individual, AI creates a positive and empowering environment that fosters growth and innovation.

Unlike traditional change models that focus on fixing problems, AI emphasizes building on what is already working well. It assumes that every organization and individual has unique strengths and resources that can be leveraged to create positive change.

The 4-D Cycle of Appreciative Inquiry

The AI process is guided by the 4-D Cycle, a framework that empowers organizations and individuals to envision, design, implement, and sustain positive change.

1. Discover: Identify what is working well, what people value, and what inspires them.
2. Dream: Envision a compelling future based on the strengths and aspirations identified in the Discover phase.
3. Design: Create a plan to realize the dream, leveraging the strengths and resources of the organization or individual.
4. Destiny: Implement the plan and monitor progress, continuously adjusting and refining as needed.
