The Appreciative Paradigm: Rethinking Social Change
Since its conception in 1987, Appreciative Inquiry has been celebrated globally as a powerful tool for organizational and social transformation. However, by focusing primarily on its practical application as a change methodology, the broader academic and practical communities have overlooked its true scope.
It is time to move past this limited perspective. This audiobook introduces a groundbreaking, integrative approach that elevates Appreciative Inquiry from a simple methodology to its full glory: a comprehensive new paradigm within the social sciences.
What You Will Discover in This Audiobook:
The Anatomy of a Paradigm: Explore the foundational components of social science paradigms—understanding ontology, epistemology, praxis, axiology, and language—and learn exactly how and when paradigm shifts occur.
The Imperative for Change: Discover the five key driving forces that justify recognizing Appreciative Inquiry as a new paradigm. The author explores the need for an organic theoretical framework, alignment with appreciative language, and building upon Cooperrider’s foundational visions.
A Comprehensive New Framework: Unpack the precise definition of the "Appreciative Paradigm." You will get a detailed, component-by-component breakdown of Appreciative Ontology, Epistemology, Praxis, Axiology, and Language.
Who is this for?
Whether you are a practitioner, an academic, or a social science researcher, this work offers a profound shift in perspective. It goes beyond theory, inviting you to reflect on the deep implications of this integrative approach in both your professional practice and daily life.
Join the conversation, reshape your understanding of human systems, and collaborate in the co-construction of the emerging Appreciative Paradigm!
