Using Appreciative Inquiry to Develop Organizational Values Rooted in Social Justice and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Abstract

The University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning used an Appreciative Inquiry process to develop organizational values rooted in social justice, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The college compact ‘describes the environment the college wishes to create and the behaviors it hopes its community members will exhibit. These shared values articulate their commitments for their interactions and relationships with one another’.
