Appreciative Inquiry is a philosophy for change. The major assumption of Appreciative Inquiry is that in every organisation something works and change can be managed through the identification of what works and the analysis of how to do more of what works.

Written by the two most recognized Appreciative Inquiry thought leaders A quick, accessible introduction to one of the most popular change methods today--proven effective in organizations ranging from Roadway Express and British Airways to the United Nations and the United States Navy Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a model of change management uniquely suited to the values, beliefs, and challenges of organizations today. AI is a process that emphasizes identifying and building on strengths, rather than focusing exclusively on fixing weaknesses as most other change processes do. As the stories in this book illustrate, it results in dramatic improvements in the triple bottom line: people, profits, and planet. AI has been used to significantly enhance customer satisfaction, cost competitiveness, revenues, profits, and employee engagement, retention, and morale, as well as organizations' abilities to meet the needs of society. This book is a concise introduction to Appreciative Inquiry. It provides a basic overview of the process and principles of AI along with exciting stories illustrating how organizations have applied AI and the benefits they have gained as a result. It has been specifically designed to be accessible to a wide audience so that it can be handed out in organizations where AI is either being contemplated or being implemented. Written by two of the key figures in the development of Appreciative Inquiry, this is the most authoritative guide available to a change method that systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, and their communities more adaptive and more effective.

Download The Thin Book of Naming Elephants Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Publisher Provided Annotation There's an elephant in the room that everyone knows about but no one is acknowledging. The elephant is implicit and undiscussable and lurks in every organization. Everyone talks around the elephant and thinks that everyone else knows about the elephant. However, until the elephant's presence is made explicit, the level of dialogue and therefore the quality of decision-making is limited. Sound familiar? Using NASA's tragic accidents and Enron's bankruptcy as examples of the price of not having open, constructive dialogue, The Thin Book of Naming Elephants shows how great companies create an environment that encourages and listens to input from all levels of the organization.

Download Appreciative Inquiry in the Catholic Church Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Named The Best Book by a Small Publisher by the Catholic Press Association in May 2004. Susan Star Paddock has written a book about how Appreciative Inquiry is being used in the Catholic Church. As she writes in the book..."As a practicing psychotherapist and organizational consultant, I've used AI with individuals, families, colleges, businesses and non-profits. In 2002, I became deeply concerned about the health of my spiritual home, the Catholic Church. Widespread media coverage of the sex abuse cases led me to realize that the Church was at a choice point. We could pursue the usual course of finding out 'what's wrong with our church' or we could use the energy created by the crisis for an inquiry into what is right with our church. We could begin to have conversations to share what we think the 'life-giving forces' of the Church might be."
