AI Practitioner Webinar: Offshoots and Innovations

We invite you to join the global AI community to talk directly with the editors and contributors of this issue, as well as with AI colleagues. Register to receive the Zoom Link a few days before the webinar.

About the Webinar

Join us for a special online gathering inspired by the May issue of the AI Practitioner Journal, which highlighted many exciting offshoots and innovations of Appreciative Inquiry. With contributors from that issue, we’ll explore how we can track, sustain, and fan the flames of emerging innovations across our global community.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How to track and sustain the innovations and offshoots of AI
• What an “encyclopedia of AI innovations” might look like in practice
• Ways to ensure that new ideas move from inspiration to fruition—and stay alive
• Practices for fanning the flames of emerging work across our global community

Our goal isn’t only to celebrate what’s already been shared, but to co-create a process for continuously tracking and nurturing the ongoing evolution of Appreciative Inquiry.

We’d love for you to be part of this conversation—your voice, experience, and imagination will help shape what comes next.

About the Issue

One of the strengths of Appreciative Inquiry is that David Cooperrider and other early AI thought leaders were committed to keeping AI open source and available to all. The co-editors of this issue are increasingly aware of the bounty of AI offshoots and innovations that are evolving around the world. Their hope for this issue is that it will plant the seeds for more offshoots to flourish.
