Philosophy of Appreciative Inquiry
Bushe (n.d.) states that AI is “a challenge to conventional methods of providing leadership and managing change.” He states that AI will be of interest to the researcher who believes:
- Organizations are not like machines –-- they do not have an objective reality the way a table or a rock does;
- Organizations are a social reality and social reality is co-constructed –-- we are in through our interactions with each other;
- Important human processes like communication, decision-making, and conflict management are effected more by how people involved make meaning out of their interactions than by skillful application of any particular technique; and
4. Attempts to find or develop the right formula for successful leadership and change are a misguided attempt to treat social reality as if it were objective reality.
Bushe’s comments here show clearly what beliefs and philosophy underpin AI. That is a good point to move onto an examination of the theoretical basis of AI.
