Cora, I did a Google advanced search for you (http://www.google.com/advanced_search then go to 'exact phrase' box) and the were the top 30 results are listed below.
Anne Radford is a good contact ([email protected]). She publishes a little book on AI which is worth getting. The main phases of AI are: Discovery (What is the topic of our AI?) Dream (Challenging the status quo) Design (Creating provocative propositions) Delivery (Nurturing collective action) I recently took part in a quick'n'dirty AI simulation; it shares certain principles with Search Conferences (not Future Search). It's very much an interview-based approach. My sense is that it could be done a lot quicker and more elegantly in a large group / whole system forum, but perhaps this would lose some of the bring-people-in-little-by-little quality of AI as invented by David Cooperrider and colleagues. Back in the 1960s Ron Lippitt did some research that showed that people got disheartened when taking a problem solving approach, but became excited and motivated when taking a create the future approach. AI is based on this principle. And anyone who has studied NLP will have this hard-wired into them. Hope this is useful.
