WWHEL Words of Wisdom

What is Appreciative Inquiry?
Appreciative Inquiry is an organizational development tool that focuses on bringing out the best in people and organizations instead of viewing them as problems that need to be solved. “AI is the cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them . . . AI involves the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system’s capacity to heighten positive potential.” (Career Aspirations and Expeditions: Advancing Your Career in Higher Education Administration, Cooperrider and Whitney, p. 10)
