Lessons From the Field: Applying Appreciative Inquiry (Revised Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is rare that we would describe a business book as beautiful, but this one truly is. Not only is the artwork subtle and well integrated to contribute to the physical beauty of this book, there is beauty in each story or lesson. You will find well written, detailed case studies on the application and success of Appreciative Inquiry in settings ranging from schools to communities to entire nations. The how-do portions of the book are powerfully written yet easy to understand (in contrast to some of the more academic works on this subject).
My favorite 'lesson' comes from Father Greg Banaga and relates the principles of Ai to the teachings in the Bible. Just one example of the uplifting nature of this book and the ennate quality of the Appreciative Inquiry Process. Buy it for its practical, informative text, love it for its depth and beauty.

The Art of Quantum Planning: Lessons from Quantum Physics for Breakthrough Strategy, Innovation, and Leadership Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quantum Planning is a quantum leap or at least a phase-change in how businesses and institutions need to think about problems that defy traditional logic. By drawing analogies to the "big picture" lessons from modern physics, Harris leads us: beyond the static business plan to the dynamic marketplace of relative customer value; beyond the extremes of rigid definitions to the collaborative space of fluid possibilities; and beyond the cut-throat world of win-lose competition to the win-win dimensions of cooperation.
One doesn't have to be a scientist to appreciate how quantum physics has helped us understand the linkages within a universal energy system; and one doesn't have to be a physicist to appreciate the practical manner in which Harris has adapted these principles to scenario planning and management advice for just about any commercial enterprise or public institution.
It is a short read, but packed with game-changing ideas. I am pleased to recommend it.
