Jim Ludema and Diana Whitney, authors of "The Appreciative Inquiry Summit: A Practitioner's Guide for Leading Large-Group Change", cordially invite you to join them for their Appreciative Inquiry Summit Workshop May 24-27 in Chicago. This is a highly interactive, hands-on workshop that has produced breakthrough results for dozens of organizations.

The AI Summit is a process for getting the "whole system in the room" (30-3000 people or more) to launch meaningful and often revolutionary change. It has been used by McDonald's, BP, John Deere, Hunter Douglas, Nokia, US Cellular, British Airways, Roadway, Nutrimental, World Vision, the US Navy, and many others and is rapidly becoming a method of choice among leaders of change because of its capacity to unify people around a common vision and enable them to implement rapid whole system transformation.

This workshop is ideal for individuals and for teams working on a common change agenda. In addition to providing an introduction to the AI Summit methodology, offering a series of case studies of the AI Summit in action, and leading rich discussions in how to apply the AI Summit in a variety of settings, Jim and Diana work individually with each person or team to help design an AI Summit process tailored specifically to their project or organization.
