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." That
difference systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, and their
communities more adaptive and more effective. AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm
in favor of coordinated actions and closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler and more effective.
