Appreciative Inquiry is the study and exploration of what gives life to human systems when they function at their best.
This 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.

APPRECIATIVE PRACTICES
The AI process is broken down
into 4 Stages, call the 4 D’s:
Discovery: The identification
of what works well.
Dream: The envisioning what
would work well in the
future.
Design: Planning and
prioritizing what would work
well.
Delivery: The implementation
of the proposed design.
14
THE FOUR ‘D’ CYCLE
Positive Core
Discovery: to
appreciate what is
Dream: to imagine
what might be
Design: to determine
what should be
Delivery: to create what will
be
The Constructionist Principle

APPRECIATIVE PRACTICES
DISCOVER:Appreciate
DREAM:Imagine
DESIGN:Dialogue
DELIVER:Create/Do
In every
individual or
system
something works
What we focus
on becomes our
reality.
Reality is created in
the moment, and
there are multiple
realities.
The act of asking
questions of an
organization or
person has influence.
People have more
confidence to journey to
the future (the unknown)
when they carry forward
parts of the past (the
known).
The language we use
creates our reality.
Describe an experience in your work in
which you have learned something
significant.
▪ Who else was involved and what did they do?
▪ What did you do to foster your own development?
▪ What made this a highpoint learning experience?
