Appreciative Inquiry
Appreciative Inquiry tool that focuses on the positives.
To appreciate is recognizing the best in people.
To inquire is to ask questions.
There are 5 steps to be followed.
First, define the topic.
Next in the Discovery phase discover what is best and what is working well.
We do this by asking positive questions encouraging open responses from those we interview, looking for success stories.
In the Dream phase we discuss with stakeholders, what might a future vision look like, what is possible, how things might work well in the future.
Encourage creativity and do not focus on problems.
The Design phase generates ideas for action and how the dream can be achieved.
In the Destiny phase we make it happen by implementing the design.
