Marvin Weisbord:
“If I could ask one thing of a crystal ball in any situation, it would not be:
what's wrong and what will fix it? but
what’s possible here and who cares? “

Why it works Principles of the approach
• In every society, organisation, team and group, some things work well. (strengths based)
• Organisations grow in the direction of what they ask questions about (social construction)
• People are more confident in moving to an uncertain future when they carry forward the best parts of the past (continuity and innovation).
• Change is seen as a journey rather than a one-off event (on-going)
• Everyone in the system participates (involvement)

David Cooperrider says that:
‘A compulsive concern with what’s not working, why things go wrong and who didn’t do his or her job ….….demoralises members of the organisation, reduces the speed of learning, and undermines relationships and forward movement‘
……appreciative inquiry starts a different kind of conversation, working with people’s experience, energy and passion to create exceptional change.…”
