Written by the originators and leaders of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) movement itself, this short, practical guide offers an approach to organizational change based on the possibility of a more desirable future, experience with the whole system, and activities that signal ''something different is happening this time.'' That difference systematically taps the potential of human beings to make themselves, their organizations, and their communities more adaptive and more effective. AI, a theory of collaborative change, erases the winner/loser paradigm in favor of coordinated actions and closer relationships that lead to solutions at once simpler and more effective.

Este libro es una síntesis perfecta de una metodología que está revolucionando el mundo de la empresa y las relaciones humanas: la Indagación Apreciativa (IA); un método basado en la nueva psicología positiva, la biomímesis, el pensamiento de diseño y la construcción social de la realidad. La principal tesis del libro es que la inspiración constituye la fuente de alimentación y la principal dinámica de la Indagación Apreciativa. Escrito conjuntamente por el creador del método, David Cooperrider, y por su principal abanderada en el mundo de habla hispana, Miriam Subirana, Indagación Apreciativa trata de cómo promover el cambio a nivel personal, social o empresarial. Por ello recurre al formato coaching.
