Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management by Sarah Lewis, Jonathan Passmore and Stefan Cantore
Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management: Using AI to Facilitate Organisational Development delves into the transformative power of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) in change management. The book comprehensively explores how AI can be utilised as a strategic tool to foster positive organisational change and development.
Appreciative Inquiry is a methodology grounded in the belief that organisations grow in the direction of what they repeatedly ask about and focus on. Instead of dwelling on problems and weaknesses, AI emphasises identifying and amplifying strengths, successes, and positive aspects within an organisation. AI encourages stakeholders to envision and co-create a desired future state through inquiry, collaboration, and dialogue.
The authors provide practical guidance on applying AI principles and techniques in various organisational contexts, ranging from small teams to large corporations. They highlight the importance of leadership engagement, employee participation, and fostering a culture of positivity and collaboration to successfully implement AI initiatives.
Overall, Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management offers valuable insights and strategies for leveraging AI to catalyse organisational growth, innovation, and sustainable change.
