 Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a method that focuses on creating preferred futures starting from the strengths, successes and unique attributes of a system or a group in the past and present. AI is grounded in a belief that in any situation there is something that works well. From this position of appreciation, it encourages the participants to discover their aspirations, desires and images of futures they would like to see. Rather than focusing on problems and attempting to solve them, AI postulates that words create worlds, that by focusing on the positive we can create futures we hope for. AI was developed by David Cooperrider and his colleagues at the Case Western Reserve University in the 1980s. Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a method that focuses on creating preferred futures starting from the strengths, successes and unique attributes of a system or a group in the past and present.
