[ Announcing the February 2009 AI Practitioner ]

New AIP issue: February 2009
Working Boldly with Appreciative Inquiry: Examples from the UK AI  
Network

Guest Editors: Julie Barnes and Anne Radford

"We are currently excited by ideas of boldness. We know that stories  
of othersí boldness inspire us to be bold ourselves. This issue of AI  
Practitioner is about boldness in the UK AI network," say Julie  
Barnes and Anne Radford.

There are six articles, in Part 1, about new models, ways and places  
where people have been bold in their use of AI with stories from two  
business leaders, board members safeguarding children and staff  
transforming social care for adults with disabilities.

Part 2 includes stories about evaluating leadership programmes,  
debriefing regeneration projects and building co-operative learning  
out-of-doors for children.

And you might want to check out the wordles created by one  
practitioner - a colourful way of putting together words she  
associated with AI.

New AIP design
The February 2009 issue launches the new AIP design. The new design  
is based on your feedback in last year's survey. AIP now has a cover  
page showing topics covered in the issue.

The Table of Contents is fuller than before with authors' names and  
article description alongside the article title. Clicking on an  
article listing now takes you directly to the article. At the end of  
the article, a click brings you back to the Table of Contents where  
you can choose your next article.

There is a new section, AI Research Notes, managed by Jan Reed and  
Lena Holmberg who will be highlighting research in progress around  
the world using AI. Gervase Bushe at Simon Fraser University in  
Canada and Chris Jansen at University of Canterbury in New Zealand  
are the first contributors.
