David Cooperrider is one of the founders of the Appreciative Inquiry school of change, if that’s what I may call it. This morning he gave a conference call on MaestroConference to discuss where AI is going now. The major theme was that AI is moving towards empowering/enabling change “on the scale of the whole”. He felt that Appreciative Inquiry allows people to build strengths from strengths, begin with hope and move towards greater hope, and this is riding a wave of global change.

Here’s my graphic recording of the session. This was done on a 4×6 mural with markers and pastels – compare that to Wednesday’s graphic note-taking of Harrison Owen’s talk.

Thanks to the people at MaestroConference for putting on this event, and thanks to David Cooperrider for an inspiring talk.
