The following are five video clips on Appreciative Inquiry that are available for preview.

Fairmount Minerals – Creating Sustainability

Here is a video clip (10 minute clip) from the Fairmount Minerals and was part of Business as an Agent of World Benefit (BAWB) that actually shows the impact of the summit. In theAppreciative Inquiry Handbook in Chapter 8 there is the original AI Interview Guide on page 228 when the organization was called Fairmont North America. The organization’s name change came when the organization went global. This organization has been using AI for over a decade now. It also gets at the discussion as Jerry mentioned online as to how to bring about change for multiple stakeholders.

For those of you interested in BAWB – click around the website after the video clip.
