"What if instead of seeing organizations as problems to be solved, we saw them as miracles to be appreciated." -- David Cooperrider


The New York Area Appreciative Inquiry Special Interest Group, formed through the Organizational Development Network of Greater New York on December 15, 2004. It is our hope to create a supportive community of practitioners to bring more strength based approaches into New York City Businesses, Communities, Schools, Not-For-Profits and any other organizations in need of creating greater connection, communication, collaboration and innovation. The purpose is to create a learning/growth community to explore and apply the Appreciative Inquiry Philosophical Approach, as well as, its tools. We will also include other associated approaches to positive/collaborative change and transformation.
