appreciative inquiry
type: Concept
definition: Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is an organization development (OD) process and approach to change management that grows out of social constructionist thought. Through its deliberately positive assumptions about people, organizations and relationships, AI is distinctive in that it leaves behind more modernist, deficit-oriented approaches to management and vitally transforms ways to approach questions of organizational innovation, improvement or effectiveness.
