In this workshop, Dr. David Cooperrider and Dr.Diana Whitney will introduce the theory and practice of AI – a consulting process which grows out of social constructionist thought and its applications to organization transformation.

Illustrations of this "constructive" approach to organization transformation will be drawn from work with small and large corporations, communities, and with international organizations addressing global issues of transboundary concern.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice key steps,
work through case examples, and develop strategies!
