Appreciative Inquiry

 

AI is a process that builds appreciation by

shifting what we look for, what we hope for

and what we do together.

 

The process asks questions to highlight what works in order to help us fix what is wrong. Its purpose is to maximise what we do well.

 

The shift from being

Problem Focused

The shift to an

Appreciative Focus

 

What is not happening?

Where are the gaps?

 

 

What are we not doing?

 

Where do we experience and see what we believe in and hope for coming into reality?

 

How can we increase these positives?

 

What should be done?

 

How do we convince others to do it?

 

What difficulties will we encounter?

 

What is our shared dream?

 

What are the possibilities?

 

Where are the seeds we want to grow?

 

The Art of compromise

 

 

It’s too big and too hard to change

 

The Art of believing in great opportunities

 

Think of all the things that have changed because people dreamed them possible.

 

Action felt as never being enough

 

What is the smallest change that will have the biggest impact?

 

 

We must be the change we wish to see - Ghandi
