WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Spreading Appreciative Inquiry
As the 2009 World Appreciative Inquiry Conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, draws nearer, we're continuing to speak with organizers and presenters about the event that invites people to be part of a positive-change revolution.
 
In this e-news, read about the Nepal Appreciative Inquiry National Network (NAINN), which in the past five years has presented on the constructive approach to organizational development in 45 districts in the country. The network will be presenting at the Nov. 16-19 conference, sharing how Appreciative Inquiry has positively changed lives, communities and organizations in Nepal. 
 
Also, this autumn Ada Jo Mann, a pioneer in the AI field, will be presenting a workshop unveiling a new strengths-based planning process she developed called LEAD, which stands for the initiative's four steps: listen, elevate, apply and deliver. Find out more about the process through the full story link.
