Here’s where we start looking at the ’emergent’ principles of Appreciative Inquiry; the ones that became apparent after Appreciative Inquiry practitioners had been applying the approach after a few years.
The first one we’ll consider is the ‘Wholeness Principle’. When you understand this one, you’ll know:
- Why the more diverse viewpoints there are having input to the decision making process, the more robust and likely to succeed those decisions will be
- How having ‘the whole system in the room’ frees us from the limitations of our assumptions
- And why you won’t need to ‘sell’ change to people and get their ‘buy-in’
