Imagine that you are an Appreciative Inquiry practitioner and you have already had the fortunate opportunity to contract with a small company president of a bookstore to develop an AI event for their full system of 100 staff and stakeholders within the company. The president wants to focus on customer service and finding more business in the small city. When you meet the rest of the small leadership team of ten, they are very skeptical and don't want to participate in what they call "an exercise in futility." They try to convince the president that this AI-thing is not going to help them solve the problems that keep mounting and that they don't have time to waste. You can sense that the president is beginning to waver from her earlier excitement and she is looking to you to either capitulate and develop a deficit-based program instead or convince the leadership team that your original AI plan will be a success. what you would say to the group with the goal of demonstrating how Appreciative Inquiry would be the appropriate choice.
