The five phases of Appreciative Inquiry (AI-5D)—Define, Discover, Dream, Design, and Deliver—offer a strategic framework for leaders to identify and integrate core intelligences that fuel adaptive learning and lasting transformation. 


These include emotional (EQ), work relationships or relational (RQ), agile (AE-Q), adaptive (AQ), adoption (AOQ), resilience (RESQ), and team cultural intelligence (TCQ). 


Enabling leaders to design stronger strategies, align teams with evolving workplace demands, and sustain both organizational and individual growth amid ongoing technological change.

In challenging times, it’s essential to leverage people skills in technical or system-oriented environments to adapt to unexpected changes in work management, services, and delivery.

Adoption

The integration of intelligences serves as human-centered filters that both address and clarify expectations, values, and principles, shaping our connections with others and our engagement with evolving technologies to drive positive change.


Each individual incorporates or enhances one or more of these intelligences, all of which are essential for effective organizational collaboration and successful adoption of change.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

DAVID COOPERRIDER, along with Suresh Srivastva, co-founded Appreciative Inquiry. Cooperrider's 1985 doctoral dissertation, "Appreciative Inquiry Into Organizational Life, is regarded as the first and most informative articulation of the theory.

Cooperrider has published numerous books, well over 60 articles, and book chapters. His book with Diana Whitney, Appreciative Inquiry: A Positive Revolution in Change, became a best-seller. His 1987 article on Appreciative Inquiry (AI with Suresh Srivastva) in Research in Organizational Change and Development provides a foundation to the AI field.
