ABSTRACT

A few years ago, the co-publishers of AI Practitioner decided to publish one issue each year as an “Open Issue” to create space for as many contributors who want to write about their adventures and experiences with Appreciative Inquiry and related domains. There is no overall theme to the issue, other than this connection to strengths-based disciplines. This issue’s contributions create a tapestry of journeys and ideas.
