Description

Program offerings in the expanding field of organizational development (OD) are increasing, as evidenced by the numerous programs listed on the OD Network Web site. In particular, the appreciative inquiry (AI) approach is gaining popularity within the OD community. Cocreated by David Cooperrider, appreciative inquiry is a strength-based management philosophy and whole-system change methodology that is said to be "revolutionizing the field of organizational development” through its application of guiding principles that focus an organization's energy on success and possibility.

The demand for training in appreciative inquiry continues to increase as organizations across the globe have used AI to plan and execute successful multistakeholder initiatives for positive change. To meet this growing demand with a complement to well-established residency programs , Cooperrider created a partnership to provide a variety of online collaboration tools designed to support researchers, consultants, educators, and practitioners of appreciative inquiry. One of the core offerings is a six-week online workshop on the foundations of AI in which participants learn directly while engaging in experiential learning activities tailored to their own particular professional settings.
