CHAPTER 1
What Is Appreciative Inquiry?
We are no longer surprised when clients ask, “Appreciative what?
What do you mean by Appreciative Inquiry?” After all, the words
are a somewhat unusual, if not paradoxical, addition to a business
vocabulary that revolves around strategy, structure, problems,
and profi ts. After learning more about the power and potential of
Appreciative Inquiry, however, our clients declare, “We want to
do Appreciative Inquiry, but we will defi nitely have to call it some-
thing diff erent for it to catch on in our organization.”
Appreciative Inquiry is the study of what gives life to human
systems when they function at their best. Th is approach to personal
change and organization change is based on the assumption that
questions and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes,
and dreams are themselves transformational. In short, Appreciative
Inquiry suggests that human organizing and change at its best is a
relational process of inquiry, grounded in affi rmation and apprecia-
tion. Th e following beliefs about human nature and human organiz-
ing are the foundation of Appreciative Inquiry:
• People individually and collectively have unique gifts, skills,
and contributions to bring to life.

2 • The Power of Appreciative Inquiry
• Organizations are human social systems, sources of unlimited
relational capacity, created and lived in language.
• Th e images we hold of the future are socially created and, once
articulated, serve to guide individual and collective actions.
• Th rough human communication—inquiry and dialogue—
people can shift their attention and action away from problem
analysis to lift up worthy ideals and productive possibilities for
the future.
Words create worlds, and the words Appreciative Inquiry are no
exception. Clients have named their Appreciative Inquiry initiatives
Th e Zealots Program, Th e Power of Two, Value-Inspired People,
and in the case of Hunter Douglas, Focus 2000. In each case the
company brand has endured—along with the words Appreciative
Inquiry. As people understand more about the principles of Appre-
ciative Inquiry and begin to experiment with its practices, they real-
ize how radically positive and subtly diff erent it is from business as
usual. To fully describe and understand Appreciative Inquiry, con-
sider the meaning of each of the two words.
Appreciation: Recognition and Value Added
Appreciation has to do with recognition, valuing, and gratitude. Th e
word appreciate is a verb that carries a double meaning, referring to
both the act of recognition and the act of enhancing value. Consider
these defi nitions:
1. To recognize the best in people and the world around us.
2. To perceive those things which give life, health, vitality, and
excellence to living human systems.
3. To affi rm past and present strengths, successes, assets, and
potentials.
4. To increase in value, as in “the investment has appreciated in
value.”

Indeed, organizations, businesses, and communities can benefi t
from greater appreciation. Around the globe, people hunger for rec-
ognition. Th ey want to work from their strengths on tasks they fi nd
valuable. Executives and managers long to lead from their values.
Th ey seek ways to integrate their greatest passions into their daily
work. And organizations strive regularly to enhance their value to
shareholders, employees, and the world. But Appreciative Inquiry
is about more than appreciation, recognition, and value enhance-
ment. It is also about inquiry.
Inquiry: Exploration and Discovery
Inquiry refers to the acts of exploration and discovery. Th e spirit of
inquiry is the spirit of learning. It implies a quest for new possibili-
ties, being in a state of unknowing, wonder, and willingness to learn.
It implies an openness to change. Th e verb inquire means:
1. To ask questions.
2. To study.
3. To search, explore, delve into, or investigate.
Inquiry is a learning process for organizations as well as for indi-
viduals. Seldom do we search, explore, or study what we already know
with certainty. We ask questions about areas unfamiliar to us. Th e act of
inquiry requires sincere curiosity and openness to new possibilities, new
directions, and new understanding. We cannot “have all the answers,”
“know what is right,” or “be certain” when we engage in inquiry.
To continue to succeed, organizations need more inquiry. Th ey
need less command and control by a few and more exploration of
possibilities among many. Th ey need less certainty in their usual
plans and strategies and a greater capacity to sense and adapt quick-
ly as their world changes. Th ey need leaders who can acknowledge
what they don’t know and who will enthusiastically ask provocative
and inspiring questions.
For Appreciative Inquiry to be eff ective, however, not just any
questions will do. Questions must be affi rmative, focused on topics

valuable to the people involved, and directed at topics, concerns,
and issues central to the success of the organization. When appre-
ciation sets the direction for inquiry, the power of Appreciative
Inquiry is released.
The Catalytic Eff ect of Appreciative Inquiry
Like the elements hydrogen and oxygen—which combine to make
water, the most nurturing substance on earth—appreciation and
inquiry combine to produce a vital, powerful, and catalytic eff ect
on leadership and organization change. By tapping into accounts
of organizations that are functioning at their best, Appreciative
Inquiry unleashes information and commitment that together cre-
ate energy for positive change.
Hierarchies all too often exclude those people most signifi –
cantly impacted. Appreciative Inquiry turns those hierarchies into
knowledge-rich, relationally inclusive, self-organizing enterpris-
es. Th is change is powerfully illustrated by British Airways. After
September 11, 2002, most airlines needed to cut costs and reduce
headcount as demand for air travel declined drastically. British Air-
ways Customer Service in North America was no exception. How-
ever, their prior experience using Appreciative Inquiry led them to
involve people in determining how best to reduce the workforce.
People explored one another’s career hopes and dreams, suggested
options, and volunteered for sabbaticals, job sharing, and part-time
positions. Appreciative Inquiry created a context for people to be
included and heard throughout the diffi cult and challenging time.
Appreciative Inquiry turns command-and-control cultures
into communities of discovery and cooperation. For example, a year
into our work with one long-term client, we asked an employee to
tell what had happened. Th is is what he said:
Before Appreciative Inquiry if the R&D group wanted to run a pro-
totype on my machine, they would go to my supervisor, who would
review the schedule and tell me when to do it. Now, they come to me
directly and together we work out the best time to do it.

Th is organization moved beyond authoritarian styles of manage-
ment, liberating people to create together what they knew was best
for their customers, the business, and themselves.
When we began working with GTE, an organization that had
earlier laid off thousands of employees, morale was at an all-time
low. Conversations at all levels in the organization were about “ain’t
it awful,” “what’s wrong around here,” and “why it won’t get any bet-
ter.” We created a process that invited employees to use Appreciative
Inquiry to make the organization a better place to work—and they did.
Th ousands of employees were trained in the Foundations of Appre-
ciative Inquiry, Front-Line Leadership Using Appreciative Inquiry,
and Appreciative Union-Management Relations. After their training,
front-line employees at GTE self-organized a wide range of initiatives,
including changes in customer satisfaction surveys, studies of call cen-
ter best practices, and appreciative processes for employee recruit-
ment, orientation, and retention. After the many organic changes that
took place, GTE won the American Society for Training and Develop-
ment Excellence in Practice Award (Managing Change) in 1997.
Finally, Appreciative Inquiry renews leaders as well as organiza-
tions and communities. Rick Pellett, president and general manager
of Hunter Douglas Window Fashions Division, describes profound
personal shifts in perception as a result of leading the Hunter Doug-
las initiative:
Th e work I did here began to change me, almost right away. It got
me asking questions—not just about the company but about my life.
Th e questions we were asking and the dreams we were dream-
ing opened doors for me. Th ey invited me to consider where I was
heading, and whether it was the future I really wanted to live. Th ey
compelled me to take action to correct things that I’d simply chosen
to live with for years and years and years.
I recognize that this experience wouldn’t create the same kind
of “awakening” in everybody that it touched. But for me, it was
revolutionary. And for many of the other hard-core, quick-deciding,
bottom-line leaders that rise to the top in corporate America, it just
might be life changing, for the better.

6 • The Power of Appreciative Inquiry
The 4-D Cycle
How does Appreciative Inquiry work? Th e process used to gener-
ate the power of Appreciative Inquiry is the 4-D Cycle—Discovery,
Dream, Design, and Destiny (Figure 1). It is based on the notion that
human systems, individuals, teams, organizations, and communi-
ties grow and change in the direction of what they study. Appre-
ciative Inquiry works by focusing the attention of an organization
on its most positive potential—its positive core—and unleashing
the energy of the positive core for transformation and sustainable
success. Th is is the essential nature of the organization at its best—
people’s collective wisdom about the organization’s tangible and
intangible strengths, capabilities, resources, and assets.
Th e 4-D Cycle can be used to guide a conversation, a large
group meeting, or a whole-system change eff ort. It can serve as a
framework for personal development or coaching, partnership or

alliance building, and large-scale community or organization devel-
opment. Whatever the purpose, the Appreciative Inquiry 4-D Cycle
serves as the foundation on which change is built.
Affi rmative Topic Choice
Th e 4-D Cycle begins with the thoughtful identifi cation of what is to
be studied—Affi rmative Topics. Because human systems move in
the direction of what they study, the choice of what to study—what
to focus organizational attention on—is fateful. Th e topics that are
selected become the organization’s agenda for learning and innova-
tion.
Affi rmative Topics are subjects of strategic importance to the
organization. Th ey may be aspects of the organization’s positive
core that if expanded would further the organization’s success. Th ey
may be problems that if stated in the affi rmative and studied would
improve organizational performance. Or they may be competitive
success factors the organization needs to learn about in to
grow and change.
Once selected, these affi rmative topics guide the 4-D Cycle of
Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny. A thorough explanation
of how to choose affi rmative topics, criteria for good topics, and
many sample topics can be found in Chapter 6, “Affi rmative Topic
Choice.”
Discovery
Discovery is an extensive, cooperative search to understand the
“best of what is and what has been.” It is typically conducted via
one-on-one interviews, though it may also include focus groups and
large-group meetings. In any form, Discovery involves purposefully
affi rmative conversations among many or all members of an organi-
zation, including external stakeholders, “best-in-class” benchmark
organizations, and members of the organization’s local community.

phase is provided in Chapter 7, “Discovery: Appreciative Interviews
and More.”
Th e Discovery process results in:
• A rich description or mapping of the organization’s positive
core.
• Organization-wide sharing of stories of best practices and
exemplary actions.
• Enhanced organizational knowledge and collective wisdom.
• Th e emergence of unplanned changes well before implemen-
tation of the remaining phases of the 4-D Cycle.
Dream
Dream is an energizing exploration of “what might be.” Th is phase
is a time for people to collectively explore hopes and dreams for
their work, their working relationships, their organization, and the
world. It is a time to envision possibilities that are big, bold, and
beyond the boundaries of what has been in the past. Th e Dream
phase is both practical and generative. It amplifi es the positive core
and challenges the status quo by helping people envision more valu-
able and vital futures, better bottom-line results, and contributions
to a better world. Typically conducted in large-group forums, Dream
activities result in alignment around creative images of the organi-
zation’s most positive potentials and strategic opportunities, inno-
vative strategic visions, and an elevated sense of purpose. A detailed
description and comprehensive guide for the Dream phase is pro-
vided in Chapter 8, “Dream: Visions and Voices of the Future.”
Design
Design is a set of Provocative Propositions, which are statements
describing the ideal organization, or “what should be.” Design activ-
ities are conducted in large-group forums or within a small team.
Participants draw on discoveries and dreams to select high-impact

design elements, then craft a set of provocative statements that list
the organizational qualities they most desire. True to the principles
of Appreciative Inquiry, Provocative Propositions are written in the
affi rmative. Th ey expand the organization’s image of itself by pre-
senting clear, compelling pictures of how things will be when the
organization’s positive core is boldly alive in all of its strategies, pro-
cesses, systems, decisions, and collaborations. A detailed descrip-
tion and comprehensive guide for the Design phase is provided in
Chapter 9, “Design: Giving Form to Values and Ideals.”
Destiny
Destiny is a series of inspired actions that support ongoing learning
and innovation, or “what will be.” Th is is the fi nal phase of the 4-D
Cycle. Th e entire cycle provides an open forum for employees to
contribute and step forward in the service of the organization, and
change occurs in all phases of the Appreciative Inquiry process. Th e
Destiny phase, however, focuses specifi cally on personal and orga-
nizational commitments and paths forward. In many cases, Appre-
ciative Inquiry becomes the framework for leadership and ongoing
organization development. Th erefore, in the Destiny phase, many
organizations begin the Appreciative Inquiry 4-D Cycle anew.
Destiny activities are often launched in large-group forums and
continue as small-group initiatives. Th e result of destiny is generally
an extensive array of changes throughout the organization in areas
as diverse as management practices, HR processes, measurement
and evaluation systems, customer service systems, work processes,
and structures. A detailed description and comprehensive guide
for the Destiny phase is provided in Chapter 10, “Destiny: Inspired
Action and Improvisation.”

borrows from the strengths of many other practices in the fi eld of

organization development. From Harrison Owen, creator of Open
Space Technology, we learned about the power of self-organiz-
ing processes. From the groundbreaking work of the “mother” of
Whole-Scale® Change, Kathleen Dannemiller, and her colleagues
at Dannemiller Tyson Associates, we borrowed many practices for
designing and facilitating large-scale meetings.
From organizational learning guru Peter Senge—and his col-
leagues in the Society for Organizational Learning—we came to
value the practice of dialogue for awakening the fl ow of collective
meaning making and enhancing organizational learning. And from
Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff , creators of Future Search, we
understand the importance of bringing all the stakeholders together
to focus upon and create the future.
While honoring the contributions made by these and other
leaders in the fi eld of organization development, we believe that
Appreciative Inquiry off ers the fi eld a radically new direction in
principle and in practice. Grounded in the theory and practice of
social construction, Appreciative Inquiry is an invitation to a posi-
tive revolution in change. It is distinctive in three signifi cant ways: it
is fully affi rmative, it is inquiry based, and it is improvisational.
It Is Fully Affi rmative
As a process of positive change, Appreciative Inquiry is fully affi r-
mative. Moving through the 4-D Cycle builds upon the organiza-
tion’s track record of success and inspires positive possibilities for
the future to be expressed and realized. Unlike other change meth-
odologies, Appreciative Inquiry does not include defi cit approaches
to organizational analysis, such as root cause of failure, gaps, bar-
riers, strategic threats, or resistance to change. All Appreciative
Inquiry activities, practices, and processes focus on the organization
at its best—past, present, and future.
Too often, organizations are prevented from fully knowing
or drawing upon their positive potential because of their habit of
focusing on problems rather than possibilities. Th e result, accord-

ing to David Cooperrider and Diana Whitney, is decreased organi-
zational capacity:
Problem analytic methodologies are based on defi cit discourse. Over
time, they fi ll the organization with stories, understandings, and rich
vocabularies of why things fail. Compulsive concern with what’s
not working, why things go wrong, and who didn’t do his or her
job demoralizes members of the organization, reduces the speed of
learning, and undermines relationships and forward movement.1
A classic example of AI’s commitment to the affi rmative is the
case of British Petroleum’s ProCare, a U.S. auto repair business. At
the end of its fi rst year of operation, ProCare’s customer surveys
showed that 95 percent of all customers were 100 percent satisfi ed—
an astonishing statistic, as anyone in the auto repair industry will con-
fi rm. ProCare was not satisfi ed, however. Th ey decided to conduct
customer focus groups. Unfortunately, they asked only the 5 percent
of dissatisfi ed customers about their dissatisfaction. Th en, on the
walls in every station, they posted vivid descriptions of the identifi ed
causes of dissatisfaction. Within a short time customer satisfaction
ratings dropped, along with employee morale and retention.
After hearing about the success gone astray, a team of Appre-
ciative Inquiry consultants made suggestions to help the failing busi-
ness. Th ey recommended that focus groups be conducted with the
customers who were 100 percent satisfi ed. With great skepticism
and a moderate amount of curiosity, the leaders of ProCare agreed.
Th e results were stunning. Customer satisfaction ratings reversed
once again, this time for the better, as people began to learn and rep-
licate the root causes of their success. Th e fully affi rmative stance of
Appreciative Inquiry created a rich learning environment and paid
off by restoring high levels of customer satisfaction.
It Is Inquiry Based
At the heart of Appreciative Inquiry is the “art of the question”—the
ability to craft unconditionally positive questions and to interview

12 • The Power of Appreciative Inquiry
tens, hundreds, even thousands of people with questions of organi-
zational relevance and vitality.
Organizational life is a continuous stream of questions and
analysis. What caused this downturn in productivity? How can we
reduce overtime? Why did you do it that way? Who needs to be
involved in this decision? How can we increase revenue while con-
taining costs? Appreciative Inquiry confi rms that all questions are
important, but the nature of our questions is particularly important.
Appreciative Inquiry posits that organizations move in the direc-
tion of what they consistently ask questions about, and that the
more affi rmative the questions are, the more hopeful and positive
the organizational responses will be.
Th e starting point and essential component of any Apprecia-
tive Inquiry process is the appreciative interview. Appreciative
Inquiry would not be Appreciative Inquiry without appreciative
interviews. Without appreciative interviews there is no inquiry, no
openness to learn, and little potential for transformation. Th ere is
only an appreciative perspective. Th ere is an important distinction
between an appreciative perspective and Appreciative Inquiry. An
appreciative perspective focuses on recognition, values, and affi r-
mation, whereas Appreciative Inquiry implies a search, a willing-
ness to discover, and an openness to learn.
To understand the diff erence, let’s look at the processes two
organizations used to establish employee alignment on shared val-
ues. Th e fi rst organization is actually a composite of many. We would
describe it as having an appreciative perspective. A small group of
people, consisting of the executive team and several employees
with high potential, met and articulated the company’s values. Th ey
printed a beautiful document defi ning the values and describing
their importance to the business. Th ey wanted all employees to be
informed, to understand, and to be rewarded for performance in
alignment with the values. To roll out the values, they launched a
communication campaign and implemented a values-based recog-
nition system. Employees were given “values cards” to carry in their
wallets and posters of the “values statements” for their offi ce walls.

Chapter 1 • What Is Appreciative Inquiry? • 13
Most employees hung the posters, but few learned or felt valued in
the process.
Th e second organization, the American Red Cross, decided to
use Appreciative Inquiry to seek out and identify their living values.
Th ey were sincerely interested in discovering and learning about the
values enacted on a daily basis by their members. To learn what val-
ues guided the service provided by their members, they conducted
over three thousand appreciative interviews about values in action.
Th ey collected thousands of heartwarming and inspiring stories
about the challenging, committed, and compassionate work of the
American Red Cross. Th e stories were clustered, and the ten most
frequently lived values were identifi ed. At a national conference,
two thousand members heard stories of the Red Cross’s living val-
ues and saw videos of themselves and their colleagues telling stories
of their values in action. As members shared stories and watched
the videos, the organization’s collective knowledge increased.
In the spirit of inquiry, all members had the opportunity to
be interviewed and share their stories in this living values process.
Th ousands participated and were inspired, recognized, and honored
for their values-based work on behalf of the American Red Cross.
It Is Improvisational
As an approach to change with endless variation, Appreciative
Inquiry is improvisational. It is not a singular methodology because
it is not based on one fi rmly established way of proceeding. Like
great jazz improvisation—a metaphor proposed by consultant Frank
Barrett—each Appreciative Inquiry is a new creation, an experiment
that brings out the best of human organizing. It begins with a clear
purpose. But from there, who knows precisely what will happen?
In many cases, the most remarkable outcomes are unplanned and
unexpected—they emerge as the organization’s unique version of
Appreciative Inquiry unfolds.
And like musical improvisation, Appreciative Inquiry is loosely
structured, based on a set of principles and generally following the

framework of the 4-D Cycle. Th is book is fi lled with stories that
illustrate a variety of ways that individuals and organizations have
used the 4-D Cycle to meet their unique goals, with surprising and
positive results. But even the 4-D Cycle itself can be adapted to
diff erent cultures and situations. For example, social activist Mac
Odell—whose work with thousands of women throughout rural
Nepal demands great improvisation—added three more Ds: Do It
Now, Drumming, and Dancing. Similarly, the international consult-
ing fi rm Cap Gemini Ernst & Young’s Appreciative Inquiry process,
branded ePositive Change, has fi ve Ds: Defi ne, Discover, Dream,
Design, and Deliver.
As an improvisational approach to change, Appreciative Inqui-
ry is guided by a series of questions:
• What is your overall Change Agenda?
• What Form of Engagement will best suit your needs?
• What is your overall Inquiry Strategy?
• What steps will you take at each phase of the 4-D Cycle?
In Chapter 2, “A Menu of Approaches to Appreciative Inquiry,”
we expand upon these questions and highlight some of the many
ways Appreciative Inquiry has been used.
Green Mountain Coff ee Roasters’ (GMCR) answers to these
questions led them through a highly successful experiment with
