This Session What is  Appreciative Inquiry? *positive psychology and business—Positive OD *the question of change at the scale of the whole *exciting story of combination of “AI” and sustainability
An Exciting Start: The “S” Frontier and  How Fast This is Moving in Business and Society
Top Rated Stars in Virtually Every Industry  Are Becoming Leaders in Sustainable Value Innovation   Firms of Endearment GE, Whole Foods, Eaton, Toyota, and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters—generating investor returns at a rate of some 1,026 percent over a ten year period compared to 122 percent for the S&P 500?
" Bankruptcy of the Soul of Our Institutions"  MARKET SHIFT: ENERGY * INNOVATION * JOBS  GLOBAL-Shift FIRMS OF ENDEARMENT: Solid Research Data 1,000s of HEADLINES— Just this Fall
The Idea of Appreciative Inquiry
Peter Drucker on Leadership: Our Last Conversation “ The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths…making a system’s weaknesses irrelevant”.  See Cooperrider Commentary http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/
Where is the Field of Positive OD Heading? 3 Circles of the Strengths Revolution Appreciative Inquiry AR
The Strength of Strengths-Based Leadership is Obvious? The Positive Psychology Research Revolution But Does it Translate to Business? The 80/20 Data Set
Deficit Theory of Change Identify problem Conduct root cause analysis Brainstorm  and analyze possibilities Action plans/Treatment Most schools, companies, families and organizations function on an unwritten rule… “ Let’s fix what’s wrong and let the strengths take care of themselves”  --Gallop Poll The 80% Focus on Weaknesses: AACF—Which Would You Spend Most Time On? Metaphor: Organizations are problems-to-be-solved
Appreciate  “What’s Best?” Imagine  “What’s Next?” Design  “How Might We?” Create  “What Will We?” Identify problem  “What’s Wrong?” Conduct root cause analysis Brainstorm solutions Develop treatment - action plans to “solve” Deficit Management  (problem-analytic error reduction) (innovation inspired by “life”) Appreciative Inquiry Problem Metaphor: Organizations are: “ problems to be solved” Mystery Metaphor: Living systems; webs of life “ universes of infinite strengths”
Appreciative Inquiry is a Shift “ No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew.”  -  --Albert Einstein “ The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but seeing with new eyes.”  --Marcel Proust
The AI 4-D Model for  Strengths-based Change Discovery “ What gives life?” The best of what is. Appreciating Dream “ What might be?” Envisioning Results/Impact Design “ What should be –  the ideal?” Co-constructing Destiny “ How to empower,  learn, and improvise?” Sustaining Affirmative Topic
Success Factors The AI Summit “ Whole System” in the Room The Task is Clear Stakeholders Match the Task The “Concentration-Effect” of Strengths Top Down & Bottom Up & Whole From Dialogue to  Design-Inspired  Innovation 2 ½ -3 Day Event: 300 to 2,000 Participants Face-to-Face & World-Wide Web  Uncommon Action Results
Nutrimental Health Foods  The Results One Year Later Rodrigo Loures, CEO 300 % Increase in Revenues and Profit 75 % Decrease in Absenteeism Appointment to President Lula’s Economic and Social Council World Business Academy Award Rise to Best 100 Companies in the Nation
Why Does the Experience of the “Whole System”  Bring Out the Best? Why so easy? Spark innovation and collaboration? Make change less traumatic? Create high engagement? Build leaders at every level?
" Bankruptcy of the Soul of Our Institutions"  Story I Will Delve Into Later “ A Great Start” Partnerships: Business, NGOs, Government The Positivity of Collective Action
“ As sustainability for cities and the planet becomes ever more important, the question isn't whether cities will do this; the question is: Which ones are doing it first?  And who will do it best?” -- Matt Laudenbauch, Head of IBM North America—Cleveland 2009 SUSTAINABLE CLEVELAND 2019:  Building an Economic Engine to Empower a Green City on a Blue Lake
