Anyone interested in discussing 4D's of Appreciative Inquiry?
DISCOVERY: We started with an original set of AI questions focused on "change" for the interviews, small group and large group discovery process and then wrote World Cafe questions from the AI themes which we used for the DREAM portion of the training on the second day. The key findings from the cafe conversations were synthesized and then crafted into one convening question for the next 1.5 days in Open Space (DESIGN). Each participant left with project plans for using one of the methods back home (DESTINY).

Abroad (here),
there's an interesting conversation going on in a thread called Appreciativive Inquiry meets World Cafe meets Open Space
Here's an extract for lovers of questioning:
"Since meaningful questions form the fulcrum of each process, some of our most generative learning came from crafting questions out [of] the key learnings from each part of the training."
Could it be that different 'conversational and collaborative learning approaches' (Juanita Brown) generate and/or address different kinds of questions?
I say this remembering that 'Strategic questioning' of Fran Peavey * is a process of generating a question which is likely to take at least three years to answer.
Which is not the purpose of using approaches for 'decision time is yesterday' issues!
I appreciate that you and I, like other OST practitioners on this list, will likely have associated ways of seeing things. Pat Black, for example, recently described beautifully the operation of her OST 'lens' in 'I do not come to open space from any kind of professional facilitator or corporate background ...' (leverage points Thurs 26 May, 2005).
