Appreciative Inquiry

Organisations are human constructs, shaped by what their members think, imagine and say. Their language and stories create their reality. The way in which information is gathered, research is conducted and performance is evaluated determines not only the information received but the very culture in which work takes place. Focusing on wrongness perpetuates fault-finding, focusing on success creates a high performance culture. We use Appreciative Inquiry - an innovative approach in the field of organisational development - to transform strategic planning, team mergers, restructuring and value based initiatives. Appreciative Inquiry progresses through distinct stages: identifying areas for enhanced performance; critical questioning; dialoguing to unearth powerful stories of success; building success stories into a compelling vision of the future; and feeding this back to the organisation.
