Discover your community via appreciative inquiry

Appreciative Inquiry is a philosophy of relationship building and problem solving. It flips the focus from what isn’t working to what is working, and how to build on that. When the positives of a situation or relationship are highlighted, stakeholders are energized, responses are constructive, and confidence in a strategy for moving forward becomes mutual. This activity can be conducted with staff or (better still) with staff along with community members. (author introduction)
