Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry is a constructive approach to organization development and social change. Turning problem solving on its head, AI takes the approach that you cannot solve problems by focusing on problems. It seeks to create change by locating, highlighting and illuminating what gives life to an organization's existence. Based on well known research on the placebo effect, the pygmalion effect, positive affect, & the effect of imbalanced inner dialogue (2 positive messages for every 1 negative message in a healthy organization), Dr. Cooperrider has created a 4 cycle process to create rapid and corporate-wide change. John Chen has been trained in the AI method and adds his own unique flavor to the creation and change process, integrating low and high technology to ultimately result in rapid and widespread change.
