I found this example of appreciative inquiry one of the best on the web. Through appreciative inquiry techniques such as discovery, observation, and seeing the world from the perspective on the level of the client, the children in this setting come alive, are inspired and fully engaged in creating possibilities. This video clearly illustrates the effectiveness of appreciative inquiry for drawing out the best in people.
