Appreciative Inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a very powerful and flexible approach to consulting. It is a favoured approach for Ti Kouka Consulting

• AI places at centre stage the attributes and values that have already proven themselves in the organisation;
• it enables the organisation to access its core values and attributes to guide and resource its future; and
• it enhances internal capacity for change.

AI relies on smart process design and skilled facilitation. The result of AI is an organisation with

• greater confidence in its core
• greater flexibility in its operations
• heightened energy
• heightened ability to recognise and realise potential
• an embedded culture of positive enquiry, contributing to a true learning organisation
• common ground

AI has applications in

• strategic planning
• performance management
• stakeholder management
• event debriefing
• community consultation
• issue based dialogue
• individual mentoring

Ti Kouka Counsulting has the design, consultancy and facilitation strengths to bring the advantages of AI to many situations.

Graeme's experience using AI over six years and his strong theoretical understanding of AI as a mode of Action Research and Organisational Development equip him well to resource organisations for applications of Appreciative Inquiry.
