What works: Appreciative Inquiry

Recently we conducted a staff retreat workshop where we used Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a process developed by David Cooperrider in the 80s at Case Western Reserve. This process invites individuals and groups to inquire about the positive, best practices in an organization or system. AI compels us towards appreciating the wholeness of an organization and away from problem solving.
