A New Perspective, to solve the world's problems
•
0 likes•607 views
This document discusses using appreciative inquiry and systems thinking to address global problems in a positive way. It summarizes the key principles of appreciative inquiry, including the constructivist, poetic, simultaneity, anticipatory, and positive principles. Rather than focusing on problems, these principles emphasize seeing the world through our own perspectives, focusing on what we want to grow, recognizing that inquiry and change are simultaneous, believing in the future we want to conceive, and identifying existing strengths. The document argues this approach can help envision an abundant future with renewed resources, economic exchange, supportive populations, and ongoing progress through small positive steps and encouragement of ongoing solutions.
