"So, the prescription here is certainly for organizations to specify values, mission and vision statements. But, more specifically, the prescription is to do so collaboratively within a systematic process that extends to the grass roots level of the organization.
One way to do this is through a large-scale model of engagement called appreciative inquiry (AI). Developed by Dr. David Cooperrider at Case Western Reserve University, AI is a process for engaging all employees of an organization.
