Written by the originators and leaders of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) movement itself, this short, practical guide offers an approach to organizational change based on the possibility of a more desirable future, experience with the whole system, and activities that signal something different is happening this time.

AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm in favour of coordinated actions and closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler and more effective.
