He accredited this predisposition to the inculcated problem-solving mentality of the scientific method which tends to ignore what is working components of the organization. In developing Appreciative Inquiry, Cooperrider refocused the attention away from the pessimistic perceptions of the organization to the more optimistic behaviors. In doing so, he sought to redirect the attention away from problem solving and towards an appreciative inquiry of the stories of success held by the people within the organization.

The Harlem Children’s zone (HCZ) is seeking to transform Harlem by providing a set of educational and support services to the children and families who live in Harlem.

HCZ has improved the educational outcomes of participating students.
