is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if
there is a light from within."

It moved me so much. Thank you Harish. 

 

Off course thanks Elisabeth K-R for articulating it so well.

Dear Nandan: I agree with Mary's reply to you. I looked you up on the web

and discovered that you are in Hyderabad. My friend and colleague, Harish

(see contact information below) is part of a global group of people who

offer training in Appreciative Inquiry. 

 

Harish is a Board Member of the Indian Society for Applied Behavioral

Sciences (ISABS) that is a partner institution of the NTL Institute of

Applied Behavioral Sciences here in the US. NTL is the organization that

created the field of Organization Development (OD) in the 1950's and is

still the premier organization for training OD Consultants. 

 

Through our close partnership with ISABS, we are planning to offer a

Certificate program in India, right there in Hyderabad! I believe, also,

that Harish and Tom Osborn (who has been working with AI for a decade) will

be offering an Introductory course in India soon. I'm sure he will be glad

to chat with you about the possibilities. 

 

You'll see below the name of the book I wrote that is designed to be a guide

for AI consultant/practitioners. It may be useful to you. Amazon still has

it listed.

 

Welcome to the AI community! And let me know if I can be of further

assistance.

 

Appreciatively,

Jane Watkins

Hi Nandan,  One of the major issues that has been of importance to the AI

folks is that the perspective of AI is not reduced to a technique.  It is

not a technique but a way of life, or a way of relating that is oriented to

an appreciative approach.  Your question is not unsurprising, but it is not

the approach that is ideal, from an AI point of view.  It is similar to

asking if there is an ebook that would be able to pinpoint the techniques of

Buddhism.  So.. I recommend that you consider attending a workshop that

specializes in AI.. as a way of being in the world.  You might find it very

helpful in the ways that you seek help.  Best wishes, Mary Gergen
