Synopsis

This book offers a pivotal concept, model, and tool called “Drench” that meets the need within organizational transformation to internalize, abide, and sustain the insights, learning, and the energy for change generated during an Appreciative Inquiry (Ai) or any other organization development (OD) process.

Drench is an active, non- action (state of presence) that helps an organization celebrate the discovery of strengths, soak in the dream of transformation, and allow the future to emerge. It facilitates a shift in the organizational consciousness and helps develop a belief in its ability to sustain the transformation. Bringing together field experiences, conceptual understanding, and practical tools, and with a foreword by Dr. David Cooperrider, this book introduces Drench as an addition to the existing 5- D model of Ai. The book is divided into three parts: the first part introduces Drench in the context of organizational transformation through Ai; the second part consists of case studies from our experiences of facilitating organizational transformation; the third part offers a set of practical tools and models that can be combined in a logical as well as intuitive way for deeper results.

Challenging conventional notions of change and development by providing a helpful set of concepts, models and a toolbox for organizational transformation, this is a useful book for change consultants, facilitators and coaches who use OD and/ or Ai for transformation.
