Appreciative Inquiry’s Einstein Expansion: AI’s Ever-Widening Circle of Compassion and Positivity Resonance

Abstract

In this article, the authors articulate a new definition of organization “development” and propose that Appreciative Inquiry can have a directional arrow triggering what we will call the ‘Einstein expansion’ that widens our circle of compassion. Using the remarkable case from National Grid, we detail how an organization can move from inward AI to outward AI to a more upward AI, scaling its impact as a positive institution for world betterment.
