Appreciative Inquiry

 
 

Through providing consulting and supportive technologies, we work with large organizations to expand the impact of their change initiatives. Among the national and global organizations we have had the privilege of working with are ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), America's Promise Alliance, and World Vision International.

One example of our work in organizational development is our OvationNet partnership with David Cooperrider, founder of Appreciative Inquiry.

Organizations like Roadway Express, Green Mountain Coffee, the EPA, and the U.S. Navy have transformed their strategies and processes through Appreciative Inquiry (AI).

Established by David Cooperrider at Case Western Reserve University, Appreciative Inquiry mobilizes the speed of collective imagination and innovation, bringing together hundreds — and sometimes thousands ― of people in a compelling process that leads to new business models and actionable projects, all focused on substantially elevating organizational performance and results.

Through a collaborative partnership with David Cooperrider, iCohere has co-developed a customized online platform and approach for enabling organizations to build a sustainable capability for appreciative inquiry-driven innovation.

Called OvationNet, this AI-focused collaborative website can be brought into your organization as an internal capability to enable you to create a sustainable Core Strength Innovation Network.

This network of employees, partners, customers and other stakeholders focuses on capturing and sharing best practices, creating next practices, delivering AI-focused learning and development, driving change and reducing costs.
