A Positive Revolution in change
What is Appreciative Intelligence?
• Appreciative Intelligence or Inquiry (AI) is about the search for the best in
people, their organizations, and the strengths-filled, opportunity-rich world
around them.
• AI is not so much a shift in the methods and models of organizational change,
but AI is a fundamental shift in the overall perspective taken throughout the
entire change process to ‘see’ the wholeness of the human system and to
“inquire” into that system’s strengths, possibilities, and successes.
8 Assumptions of Appreciative Intelligence
• In every human situation something works.
• What we focus on becomes our reality.
• Reality is created in the moment and there are
multiple realities.
• The language we use shapes our reality.
• The act of asking questions influences the outcome
in some way.
• People have more confidence going into the future
(unknown) when they carry forward parts of the
present (known).
• If we carry parts of the past into the future, they
should be what are best about the past.
• It is important to value differences.
APPRECIATIVE
INQUIRY
PRINCIPLES
1. POSITIVE PRINCIPLE
POSITIVE QUESTIONS LEAD TO POSITIVE CHANGE
• Momentum for [small or] large-scale change requires large amounts of

positive affect and social bonding. This momentum is best generated through
positive questions that amplify the positive core.
2. CONSTRUCTIONIST PRINCIPLE
WORDS CREATE WORLDS
• Reality, as we know it, is a subjective vs. objective state and is socially

created through language and conversations.
3. SIMULTANEITY PRINCIPLE
INQUIRY CREATES CHANGE
• The moment we ask a question, we begin to create a change. “The questions we

ask are fateful.”
4. POETIC PRINCIPLE
WE CAN CHOOSE WHAT WE STUDY
• Teams and organizations, like open books, are endless sources of study and
learning. What we choose to study makes a difference. It describes – even
creates – the world as we know it
5. ANTICIPATORY PRINCIPLE
IMAGES INSPIRE ACTION
• Human systems move in the direction of their images of the future. The more
positive and hopeful the image of the future, the more positive the present-day
action.
1. THE DISCOVERY PHASE
• During this phase of the inquiry, we
emphasizes on the best facilities that
we can have at present, and pitch it
against what was considered “the
best” previously. Usually, this is
done by conducting a one-on-one
interview with every employee being
asked four to five questions. These
interviews focus on method
detection, while developing a
positive feeling among all the
participants.
2. THE DREAM PHASE
• At this stage of their careers,
people nurture dreams and
ambitions, even beyond their
current limits, so that they can have
a brighter future for themselves and
the organization. The positive core
gets even more energized and
people are even more motivated.
• They look forward to result driven
programs and are interested to
check their performances.
3. THE DESIGN PHASE
• On the basis of the last two stages,

various ideas and designs to implement
the solutions are laid out.
• These designs may be in form of
interventions, or other elements like
industrial training.
• This step is designed to implement
thoughts into practice, and includes all
steps needed to make the dreams real.
4. THE DESTINY PHASE
• This is the last stage of the 4D cycle.

Working groups are formed and
work is assigned to them at this
stage.
• Various plans and goals are defined
and work is delegated to different
teams depending on their expertise.
• The participants are invited to take
part in the work groups.
CONCLUSION
• Organizations must determine the context and the phenomena of interest.

This will lead to addressing the issues of structure, process and outcomes
which are very much part of strategic human resources management.
• Moreover, attention needs to be paid on the employee’s dreams and
aspirations.
• AI helps to transform and grow business opportunities and build a
differentiating brand value.
