How Has Appreciative Inquiry Lived Up To its Promises?


Table of Contents ( PDF )

ABSTRACT

A year ago, Anne Radford asked me whether I would take over responsibility for AI Practitioner. I said “yes”. In November, 2015, a few young men killed over 130 people in Paris. Suddenly, ‘we are at war with IS’. What can AI practitioners do? What is Appreciative Inquiry really about? I haven’t come to a final answer to the second question yet, but AI might be able to help our politicians, our neighbours, our clients, our students to make sense of what is happening and move forward. It is my wish that AI Practitioner can play a small part in that endeavour.
