Visioning Ambition in Action using AI
Appreciative Inquiry Julie? AI is the art and
practice of asking questions, of asking the
unconditional positive question. The more
positive the question, the longer lasting, more
powerful and energised the change process. (David
Cooperrider, 2007) The underlying principle of
AI is that organisations grow in the direction in
which they inquire. http//www.icvet.tafensw.edu
