Appreciative Inquiry and Organizational Transformation: Reports from the Field Fry, Ronald, Whitney, Diana, Seiling, Jane, and Barrett, Frank

Positive organizational change does not have to be planned or managed top down in a linear, urgent manner. Rather, it can be "unleashed" or discovered by helping people within organizations to identify their own best experiences in the past, and then use them to imagine, design, and bring into being the organization they want. The method is called "Appreciative Inquiry." The volume editors and their panel of experts examine how AI works in practice, and how its many (and often surprising) benefits can be realized in just about any organization. The result is a major explication and source book for leaders, change managers, and HR/OD specialists.
