The Power of Appreciative Inquiry in Organizational Change

Appreciative inquiry, a powerful approach to organizational change, focuses on seeking the truth, good, and possible within systems. Originating from a project at the Cleveland Clinic, appreciative inquiry shifted the focus from organizational problems to strengths and life-giving elements. Embracing a whole system approach, appreciative inquiry led to remarkable transformations in organizations, fostering growth and positive outcomes. By redefining how problems are framed and emphasizing the power of questions, appreciative inquiry nurtures a culture of continuous improvement and success.
