Clinical Organizational Science (COS) and Appreciative Inquiry: 3Good1More is Not Positive Thinking

COS connects the lineage of appreciative observation in Appreciative Inquiry to feedback receptivity and Loop Conversion Design through 3Good1More. DroR Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Makoto Yamanaka), a research and practice firm that observes and designs the 'invisible interaction structures' of organizations based on complex systems science and neuroscience, has published the paper 'Clinical Organizational Science: An Integrative Framework for Structural Intervention in Complex Organizations' in the Organizational Psychology section of the international academic journal 'Frontiers in Psychology.' The English press release for this paper was distributed via EurekAlert!, and the overall problem statement of COS was also introduced on the international science news site Phys.org. This release organizes Appreciative Inquiry and COS's 3Good1More from the perspective of appreciative observation and feedback circulation structures. This release is part of the Clinical Organizational Science (COS) commentary series distributed from May 7 to June 5. This time, we take up Appreciative Inquiry and COS's 3Good1More to organize how COS connects with existing theories, where it expands, and what verifiable questions it presents.
