[OSList] Relationship between Appreciative Inquiry and OST?

[Peggy Holman]

I did an issue for the Appreciative Inquiry Practitioner newsletter in 2004 (!!) on the relationship between Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space. 

Here’s the table of contents: http://peggyholman.com/papers/articles/appreciative-inquiry-and-open-space/ <http://peggyholman.com/papers/articles/appreciative-inquiry-and-open-space/>

The opening essays <http://peggyholman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aip0411-0.Opening.Essays.pdf> include one by me called Emerging in Appreciative Space, one by Harrison called Open Space as Appreciative and one by Diana Whitney called An Open Invitation to the Appreciative.

I think it's because I feel it is manipulative, that is, it uses generative questions to guide participants' trajectory as opposed to letting the participants themselves choose their trajectory. However, AI appears to be very effective, so I wonder if my resistance is due to some unconscious bias I have.
