This site is a resource for you and many of us -- leaders
of change, scholars, students, and business managers.
In the years since the original theory and vision for
"Appreciative Inquiry Into Organizational Life"
was articulated by two professors at the Weatherhead
School of Management (see David Cooperrider and Suresh
Srivastva, 1987) there have been literally hundreds
of people involved in co-creating new concepts and practices
for doing AI, and for bringing the spirit and methodology
of AI into organizations all over the world. Commenting
on her assessment of AI's uniqueness, a senior executive
at one company recently said: "I know what AI is
about... it is about creating a positive revolution in
change". And in words that echo the same thing,
University of Michigan Professor Robert Quinn, in his
acclaimed book Change the World writes: "Appreciative
Inquiry is currently revolutionizing the field of organizational
development".
