appreciative inquiry Explanation: In Organizational development (OD), appreciative inquiry (AI) is a human resource management approach to organizational renewal. The basic idea is to build organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn't. A purported benefit of the approach is its reliance on the acknowledgement of contribution at the individual level, which leads to trust and organizational alignment. Since the method discusses concrete successes and lends itself to cross-industrial social activities, it is supposed to be enjoyable and natural to many managers, who are thought to be naturally social people focused on the bottom line.
