Using appreciative inquiry in evaluation

"Appreciative Inquiry is a process that searches for what is best in people and organizations. It offers evaluators an approach and method for discovering and building on the positive aspects of a program. This issue explores the potential role of Appreciative Inquiry in evaluation, its approach, its impact on the use of evaluation processes and findings, the contextual factors or conditions that make its use in evaluation appropriate, and the challenges of using it." "The chapters provide an overview of Appreciative Inquiry and how it fits within the landscape of evaluation practice, four case studies, and commentary and critique of the specific chapters in this issue, as well as broader consideration of the possibilities that Appreciative Inquiry offers to evaluation practice."--BOOK JACKET.
