Appreciative Inquiry is a theoretical approach, grounded through searching for the best in people, organizations, and the world around them.

AI involves the systematic exploration of what gives “life” to an organization, group, or individual when it is most alive, effective, and functional. AI entails discovery, dream, and design while assuming that every organization, group or individual have multiple positive past experiences.

Appreciative Inquiry in Coaching

When used in coaching, this method builds on developing an individual’s strengths and helps a person envision a preferred future that is based on their past positive experiences. Individuals that are coached from an appreciative perspective find that they are energized and are able to mobilize untapped creativity and inspiration towards achieving their vision. Dr. Decker has used AI in coaching leaders to achieve new heights as well as individuals who are hoping to make stunning transformations in their lives.

Appreciative Inquiry in Organizational Consulting

AI is an effective process for organizations that are looking to engage in developing their strategic future. Organizational members quickly establish a vision that is grounded in their past successes and passions. Dr. Decker uses this process with diverse groups and organizations to do strategic planning, team building, developing performance assessments and 360 degree feedback assessments. Using this highly effective process, organizations are able to develop new ways of working that are efficient and effective. Dr. Decker has achieved stunning results using this process in organizations to build effective teams, manage conflict, and develop leaders.
