In reflecting on the last two days at OSonOS, I have come upon a question - new and unvoiced.
First, a bit of background. Having inhabited what I might call a "deficit space" for all of my professional life(medicine), when I was introduced to Appreciative Inquiry by David Cooperrider and Diana Whitney - it was like a breath of fresh air after having become acclimated to something far from it. The logic (and feeling) from AI has great appeal and probably has its advantages where there is no or limited sense of urgency. OST (consistent with the "advertising") is MUCH LESS WORK. Aside from my devotion to being a PLR (path of least resistance), I really agree with the fundamental from HOO that less is more. So, is there any particular situation where some kind of preparation is necessary to get people to open space in a more positive, less deficit focus way? Live Well, Think BIG, Dave David C.
