Abstract

Focusing strictly on negative organizational issues could constitute an obstacle to the improvement of key attributes, products, and or services offered. This chapter suggests that Appreciative Inquiry (AI) can be an effective and efficient strategic tool used to lead positive change and improve the talent of the organization by emphasizing what is successful rather than a deficit. AI is a well-developed methodology of examining, defining, implementing, and executing precise pans of improvement by applying positive psychology which will lead to the revitalization of productivity. Furthermore, available data suggests the employees within the organization can become resistant to change when there is an overemphasizing of the shortcoming areas of weakness. By using the AI assessment and evaluation technology, companies can pin-point and materialize desirable change.
