David L. Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry

David L. Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry The Center for Appreciative Inquiry is the global Center of Excellence in Appreciative Inquiry and strengths-based organizational management. The David L.

Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry opened in November 2014 in the Robert P. Stiller School of Business at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. The Cooperrider Center takes its name from Dr. David L. Cooperrider, the world-renowned thought leader on Appreciative Inquiry. Having worked closely with Robert Stiller to bring AI into Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in its early days, David was excited by the possibilities that the Stiller Family Foundation's gift created not only for Champlain, but also for the entire global AI community. David chose to work with Champlain because of the College's willingness to embrace the philosophies of AI and Positive Organizational Development. Additionally, Champlain College strives to establish itself as a global education leader on the forefront of AI research and development. The Cooperrider Center was made possible through the transformational $10 million gift from Robert and Christine Stiller in 2012 to support programs in Appreciative Inquiry. The Cooperrider Center is one of a number of Centers of Excellence at Champlain College that offer a unique education model for students that combines hands-on learning and skill development working in collaboration with faculty, professional staff, other students and real-world clients seeking business or organizational solutions. Our Work In Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Involves Three Main Areas:

1. Providing cutting-edge educational offerings in AI and Positive Organizational Development

2. Providing AI-related organizational consultancy services to organizations

3. Serving as a scholarship incubator that advances the theory and practice of AI across all organizational sectors around the world
The Center aims to become the global hub for cutting-edge work in Appreciative Inquiry across all organizational sectors.

Jackie brings us on her journey with Appreciative Inquiry, from her first introduction to AI and how it changed the way she viewed research and asking questions, her doctoral dissertation inspiring the development of her SOAR framework, to sharing her stories of AI impact at both the organizational and personal level, and how she and Cheri Torres are bringing every day conversations alive with Appreciative Inquiry - creating a culture of Conversations Worth Having. One golden thread throughout this episode is Jackie's passion for asking generative questions in all aspects of life.
