We are AI practitioners, federal staff, OD students, nonprofit leaders, government and corporate change agents and anyone interested in making positive change. We are a gathering of diverse individuals who endorse Appreciative Inquiry as an informing philosophy and methodology that supports positive, strength-based change in any number of settings. The philosophy and the methodology are scalable and applicable to families, communities, workplaces, and day to day living. It offers a new way of thinking that reframes questions from ”What’s Wrong?” to “What’s Right?” and then asks how can we do more of what’s working. We move from problem solving to solution finding. This shift in paradigm is essential when thinking about new ways of seeing the world and engaging in possibility thinking that leads to new actions and different outcomes.
