“Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a popular tool in Organizations Development. It is a co‐
evolutionarysearchofthebestinpeopleororganizations.Itinquiresinordertoappreciate.
AI selectively and systematically seeks to locate, highlight and illuminate the life‐giving
forces of people or an organization. For organizations, Peter Drucker describes AI as a
deliberatediscoveryofcollectivelycombinedcapacities,and,seeksanalignmentofstrengths
