We just recently published an article here about measuring results of Appreciative Inquiry in the workplace and it was our starting point for a larger publication we recently completed.  We had the opportunity to publish the results and findings from our recent experiences with Appreciative Inquiry and have had our article published in the AI practitioner journal.  You can open the introduction and summary of this journal below and you can also purchase the full August 2010 edition with our full article and many other great articles.

This issue of AI Practitioner is the 50th issue! You can see the opening article of this issue here.

Editors Susan Donnan and David Shaked bring together a rich selection of articles in this relatively unexplored area.

• Results of using AI in challenging situations:
  • a production facility about to be shut down tranforming itself into Most Wanted and then Best in Class.
  • 24/7 environment of academic medicine where an effective team can mean the difference between life and death.
• Outcomes in large and small businesses.
• New models generated: ‘Double-Loop 5D-AI process’ and ‘Appreciative Auditing’.
• Metrics, Scorecards and Performance Reviews upgraded by applying an appreciative, strength-based approach.
