Review “Appreciative Inquiry is currently revolutionizing the held of organizational development.” --Robert Quinn, Distinguished Professor of Management, University of Michigan Business School “Appreciative Inquiry is the philosophy that is allowing us to engage the hearts, minds, and souls of our people--all of our people. Only when we do that, will we achieve breakthrough performance.” --Cindy Frick, VP organizational Development and HR Planning Roadway Express “AI is a process that gets you moving the success spiral rather than down up the failure one. It has a motivating effect helping achieve self-fulfillment rather than getting into a doom and gloom syndrome.” --Rob Treeby, Health. Safety, and Environment Manager, BP AMOCO A truly revolutionary method of change management, Appreciative Inquiry (AI) emphasizes inquiry into strengths, rather than focusing exclusively on fixing weaknesses.

The world waited expectantly for discoveries and answers to riddles of the universe that would be revealed by the telescope’s views of space. But blurry images caused by a flawed mirror sent those hopes crashing down to earth. Congress demanded an explanation for the failure. The project and its creators became the butt of late-night television jokes. Stress was high among NASA engineers, as were health problems. “It was traumatic,” said Charlie Pellerin, the former director of NASA’s astrophysics division, who oversaw the launch of the Hubble. Nobody could see how to fix the problem, which many seemed afraid even to address. Well, nobody except Pellerin. He not only had the initial insight to solve the problem but also found the funding and the resources to repair the telescope, for which he received NASA’s Outstanding Leadership Medal. The ultimate reward was that over the next decade, the telescope provided spectacular images and important discoveries of stars, galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. 2 What was behind Pellerin’s success? There were dozens of other people at NASA with high IQ and world-class technical knowledge-they were, after all, rocket scientists. They could perform the same analysis, use the same logic, and wield the same models and mathematical formulas. So what gave Pellerin the insight to help the telescope get a
