Book excerpt: This volume introduces Appreciative Inquiry, a highly adaptable philosophy and process for engaging people in building the organizations and world that they want to work and live in. By encouraging a broad range of stakeholders both within and outside the system to ask positive questions about peak experiences or successes, make shared meaning of the answers, and act on the responses, AI serves as a wellspring for transformational change. Bernard J. Mohr and Jane Magruder Watkins share stories of AI in action and give a detailed explanation of five processes that you can use to guide an appreciative inquiry in your workplace or community.
