Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a widely recognised process for engaging
people in organizational development and change management. Based on
conversational practice, it is a particular way of asking questions,
fostering relationships and increasing an organization's capacity for
collaboration and change. It focuses on building organizations around
what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn't, and acknowledges
the contribution of individuals in increasing trust and organizational
alignment and effectiveness. Appreciative Inquiry for Change
Management studies AI in depth, identifying what makes it work and how
to implement it to improve performance within the business.
Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management explains the skills,
perspectives and approaches needed for successful AI, and demonstrates
how a practical conversational approach can be applied to
organizational challenges in times of change. Case studies from
organizations that have already integrated AI into their change
management practice, including Nokia and BP, reveal why the processes
are valuable and how to promote, create and generate such
conversations in other organizations. Written in jargon-free language,
this second edition now includes chapters on how positive psychology
can enhance appreciative practice and appreciative coaching, making it
an essential resource for anyone looking to implement AI in their
organization.
