1 College of LAS Retreat Appreciative Inquiry March 17, 2017 Dr. Corinne Harmon
2 Definition At its core, appreciative inquiry is the study and exploration of what give life to human systems when they function at their best. Appreciative inquiry is an approach to organization change that has been used successfully in small and large change projects with hundreds of organizations worldwide. It is based on the simple idea that organizations move in the direction of what they ask questions about.
3 21 st Century Trends New generations have come of age Diversity is the norm Institutions are being reinvented Holistic, sustainable
4 Diversity is the Norm Organizations and communities: Wide variety: Ethnic/Cultural Backgrounds Languages Stories Leadership Challenge: Collaborative and Just
5 Institutions Are Being Reinvented Institutions: More fluid More agile Distributive leadership
6 Holistic, Sustainable Approaches are Essential Today s decisions: Global: Social Economic Environmental Political Need an appreciation of differences and collaboration = APPRECIATIVE LEADERSHIP
7 APPRECIATIVE LEADERSHIP The relational capacity to mobilize creative potential and turn it into positive power to set in motion positive ripples of confidence, energy, enthusiasm, and performance to make a positive difference in the world.
8 POWER Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
9 Five Principles Constructionist Principle Simultaneity Principle Positive Principle Anticipatory Principle Poetic Principle
10 Constructionist Principle Words Create Worlds: Reality, as we know it, is a subjective vs. objective state It is socially constructed through language and conversations
11 Words Create Worlds In language, we build our own identities, our relationships with others, the countries that we live in, the companies we have, and the values that we hold dear. With language, we generate life. Fernando Flores
12 Simultaneity Principle Inquiry Creates Change: Inquiry is intervention The moment we ask a question, we begin to create change.
13 Positive Principle Positive Questions Lead to Positive Change Momentum for 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.
14 Anticipatory Principle Images Inspires Action Human systems move in the direction of their image of the future. The more positive and hopeful the image of the future, the more positive the present-day action.
15 Poetic Principle We Can Choose What We Study 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.
16 Formative Ideas Appreciative Inquiry and Leadership: Relational Positive Turning potential into positive power Rippling effects
17 The Positive Core People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas and yet they pass by themselves without wandering. St. Augustine What the organization does best
18 The AI 4-D Cycle
19 A Culture of Inquiry 4-D Process: Discovery: Identify strengths and core competencies and map organization s positive core Dream: Collectively envision positive possibilities Articulate a shared vision Select strategic opportunities to focus on Design: Create aspiration statements and design processes and structures to achieve them Destiny: Determine a collaborative path forward and make personal commitments
20 Discovery Process What Gives Life to the Organization The purpose of this phase is to search for, highlight, and illuminate those factors that give life to the organization, the best of what is in any given situation. The task is to promote organizational learning by sharing stories about times when these qualities were at their best and analyzing the forces and factors that made them possible.
21 INQUIRY Ask more and tell less Put value in your questions Ask questions that others are not asking Questions are fateful Describe the inner dialogue of the organization
22 Inquiry What gives you the most satisfaction at work? When do you feel good about your work? What are others able to do as a result of your leadership? What do you value most about yourself as a leader? Why do people respect you as a leader? What are the 3-4 values that emerge?
23 Team Inquiry & Performance Who are we, individually & collectively? What are our strengths, values, and capacities, individually & collectively? What energizes us, individually & collectively?
24 Clarifying Goals & Roles Why is our task, goal, or issue important to you? What is your vision for our success? What about our work inspires you to give your best? How do you see yourself contributing?
25 Diversity & Differences What do you most value & respect about the way we work as a team? What do you bring to us that no one else on the team can bring? How have you successfully resolved differences of opinion in the past? What are some of the best practices you have experienced or heard about for teams to learn to work with differences of opinion?
26 Fostering High Performance Tell me about a team that brought our your best? How did it do this? What is your image of us as a high-performance team? Based on your knowledge of other successful teams, what principles guide high-performance teams? How shall we celebrate our successes?
27 Growing from Success What was the high point of the process or project for you? Who or what made this a successful endeavor for you? What can we learn from this situation to ensure our ongoing success? If you were to give us a reward, what would it be for, and what would it be?
28 Interview Activity
