  17. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) • A positive revolution in change. old.libqual.org

  18. What is Appreciative Inquiry? • AI is a methodology that allows leaders to focus on the positive instead of the negative. • Rather than focusing on problems, AI elicits solutions. old.libqual.org

  19. What is Appreciative Inquiry? • Change Management theory - What problems are we having? • Appreciative Inquiry theory - What is working around here? old.libqual.org

  20. Problem Solving Model • Identify problem • Analyze causes • Brainstorm solutions and analyze • Develop action plans • Assumption: An organization is a problem to be solved. old.libqual.org

  21. Appreciative Inquiry • Appreciating and valuing - What is • Envisioning - What might be • Discussing - What should be • Innovating - What will be • Assumption: An organization is a mystery to be embraced. old.libqual.org

  22. Appreciative Inquiry Model old.libqual.org

  23. How To Do It • Begin with the topic. • If what we focus on is magnified by our attention, be sure we are magnifying something worthy. • Create the questions to explore the topic. • Focus on questions that will find out what works. old.libqual.org

  24. The Art of the Question • What’s the biggest problem around here? Rather ….. • What possibilities exist that we haven’t thought about yet? • What’s the smallest change that could make the biggest impact? old.libqual.org

  25. Basic Elements of the AI Question • Positive introduction to the topic. • Then questions such as: • Describe peak experience or high point • Things valued most about the experience • Image of desired future old.libqual.org

  26. What Makes AI Questions Important? • Positive language used • Focus attention • Create energy to answer • Opportunity to think creatively • Break automatic thinking about problems • Alter internal dialogue and storytelling • Specific positive future envisioned old.libqual.org

  27. How To Do It • Conduct the inquiry or interview. • What to do with the information generated. • Share with larger group to discover common themes of success. • An iterative process that takes time. old.libqual.org

  28. Next Steps • Provocative proposition • Does it stretch, challenge, innovate? • Grounded in examples? • Does it bridge the best of “what is” and “what might be”? • Is it stated in affirmative, bold terms? • Provocative proposition moves from individual will to group will, which achieves more than the sum of the individuals. old.libqual.org

  29. Remember … • Appreciative Inquiry does not work as a technique within the problem-solving model. • Appreciative Inquiry is a transformative process because it helps us derive the future from reality. old.libqual.org

  30. The Transforming Nature of AI • We can see it, we know what it feels like, and we move to a collective, collaborative view of where we are going. • Unlike other methodologies that can be recipes, the results are invented with experience that lead to innovation and to action. old.libqual.org
