In Appreciative Inquiry, which phase involves delivering and sustaining the change?

• A. Delivery- Sustaining the change
• B. Discovery- Appreciating that which gives life
• C. Dream- Envisioning impact
• D. Design- Co-Constructing the future

Answer: (A)

In Appreciative Inquiry, delivering and sustaining change happens in the Destiny (often labeled Delivery) phase. After discovering strengths, imagining a positive future, and co-creating the design, this final phase puts those ideas into action and makes them stick. It focuses on implementing the new practices, embedding them into daily work, aligning processes and systems, securing ongoing support and resources, and setting up metrics to monitor and adapt as needed. The other phases—discovering what gives life, envisioning the ideal future, and co-constructing the path to that future—are about exploration and design, not the long-term implementation and sustainability that Destiny/Delivery emphasizes.
