Chris, I've just returned from the First International Conference on
Appreciative Inquiry (as have, I suspect, some other members of this
list), and if you're not yet familiar with this approach/technology, I
commend it to you for its focus on finding questions to ask that move a
system toward its positive strengths. Some of the "founding members"
(Diana Whitney, David Cooperrider, Amanda Trosten-Bloom and Brian Kaplin)
of AI have recently published the "Encyclopedia of Positive Questions"
(Lakeshore Communications, 24100 Lakeshore Blvd., Euclid, OH 44123;
www.lakeshorepublishers.com). I suspect you'll find much here to add to
your list!
