You might be surprised when I suggest – Just open space for anybody who cares about, “<b>development of feasible social enterprises</b>” and then support the emergent system as it grows (or not).

For example, by adding bells and whistles which may be wonderful in themselves, but really just consume time, space, and energy accomplishing tasks that the system will create alternate ways of achieving in a more economical fashion. The point might be awkward, and surely open to debate, but I wonder why use Appreciative Inquiry? I have yet to see anything achieved in AI which does not appear equally and more easily in Open Space. AI is wonderful, but it moves too slowly (for my taste) and follows a pre-determined rhythm – which never matches the natural rhythm of an emergent organization. Appreciative inquiry is a natural act, I think, and part and parcel of what well functioning self organizing systems do all by themselves. So cut to the chase and invite the emergent system to self organize and appreciate.
