Where is the Field of Positive OD Heading?3 Circles of the Strengths Revolution
AppreciativeInquiry AR
The Strength of Strengths-Based Leadership is Obvious?
The Positive Psychology Research Revolution
But Does it Translate to Business?The 80/20 Data Set
Deficit Theory of Change
• Identify problem• Conduct root cause analysis• Brainstorm
and analyze possibilities• Action plans/Treatment
Most schools, companies, families and organizations function on an unwritten rule…
• “Let’s fix what’s wrong and let the strengths take care of themselves”
--Gallop Poll
• The 80% Focus on Weaknesses: AACF—Which Would You Spend Most Time On?
Metaphor: Organizations are problems-to-be-solved
• Appreciate “What’s Best?”
• Imagine “What’s Next?”
• Design “How Might We?”
• Create “What Will We?”
• Identify problem “What’s Wrong?”
• Conduct root cause analysis• Brainstorm solutions• Develop treatment - action plans
to “solve”
(problem-analytic error reduction) (innovation inspired by “life”)
Deficit Management Appreciative Inquiry
Problem Metaphor:Organizations are:
“problems to be solved”
Mystery Metaphor:Living systems; webs of life
“universes of infinite strengths”
Appreciative Inquiry is a Shift
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew.” - --Albert Einstein
“The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but seeing with new eyes.”
--Marcel Proust

SUSTAINABLE CLEVELAND 2019: Building an Economic Engine to Empower a Green City on a Blue
Lake
“As sustainability for cities and the planet becomes ever more important, the question isn't whether cities will do this; the question is: Which
ones are doing it first? And who will do it best?”
--Matt Laudenbauch, Head of IBM North America—Cleveland 2009
On June 22, 1969 the eyes of the world turned to Cleveland.
50 years later in 2019—when the world looks to Cleveland for a sensational retrospective on the fire—like a phoenix reborn from the fire, Cleveland will
surprise, amaze, and inspire the world with its transformation to a bright green city on a blue lake.
