	The Best Possible World: Text Only
		Cooperrider and doctoral students donated their time to design and lead meetings at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, in the same room where the United Nations charter had been hammered out five decades earlier.
		Cooperrider designed and helped lead five of the annual global summits initially held at Stanford University as the charter was being created, and since then in several other countries.
		Cooperrider had noticed that some of the most inventive organizations that had emerged since World War II were those that were truly global and focusing on global issues, such as the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.

	History of Appreciative Inquiry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		David Cooperrider and Sarah Srivastva (1987) first presented the theory of Appreciative Inquiry as part of a larger article that critiqued the field of action research.
		Cooperrider and Srivastva proposed that Appreciative Inquiry presents a viable complement to conventional forms of action research (Cooperrider and Srivastva, 1987).
		Cooperrider and Srivastva’s procedures were organized into a “4-D model.” This model involved “discovering,” where structured interviews are held; “dreaming,” where large groups participated in visualization sessions; “designing,” where small teams designed ways of creating the dreamed organization; and “delivering,” where the changes were implemented (Seel, 2003).

	About Images and Voices of Hope
		In his paper "Positive Image, Positive Action," David Cooperrider explores the thesis that the artful creation of positive imagery on a collective basis may well be the most prolific activity that individuals and organizations can engage in if their aim is to help bring to fruition a positive and humanly significant future.
		In his exploration of the potential of positive imagery, Cooperrider mentions how research has shown that human systems are largely heliotropic in character, meaning that they exhibit an observable and largely automatic tendency to evolve in the direction of positive anticipatory images of the future.
		Cooperrider stresses the consistency of findings of research done on the relationship between positive imagery and positive action across diverse areas of study.

	About Images and Voices of Hope
		Cooperrider's interest in the birth and development of new forms of human cooperation and global action organizations dates to the mid-1980s, when he and others in the organizational behavior department developed a groundbreaking method for studying organizations called appreciative inquiry.
		Cooperrider subsequently developed what he terms "appreciative inquiry summit methodology," by which groups of scores, or even hundreds, come together to do planning for an organization.
		Cooperrider points out that the number of organizations of the type SIGMA studies -- international, business, nonprofit, and nongovernment -- is mushrooming, thanks in large part to advances in communication technology.

	Leaders for the Long Haul
		Now, together with David Cooperrider, an associate professor at Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management, Roadway is bringing that premise to life on the loading dock.
		Then Cooperrider posed his first challenge: "Talk about a time when you felt the most alive, the most engaged, in your job at Roadway." The wording was purely intentional -- a signal that this wasn't going to be the usual management-labor gripe session.
		David Cooperrider, 46, an associate professor at Case Western Reserve University, has led "appreciative inquiry" summits for such organizations as GTE, the Red Cross, and Verizon since 1985.

	Positive Organizational Scholarship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Cooperrider’s Appreciative Inquiry (2000), an intervention practice that involves recalling the best of one’s organizational experience as a starting point, is hypothesized to serve as a catalyst for increased positive affect (PA), decreased negative affect (NA), and a healthier heart rate variability (HRV).
		Study results are expected to contribute to current knowledge in positive organizational scholarship by exercising and extending the broaden-and-build theory (Fredrickson, 2001) to consider impacts of both increases to PA and decreases to NA as contributing components to favorable affective state.

	[No title]
		Cooperrider and company are opening the way for people within any community, even when deeply conflicted or subject to the harshest conditions, to learn to trust each other when the right questions are asked and answered in a safe place and acted upon.
		As Cooperrider has said repeatedly to students and colleagues, “Community is not a problem to be fixed but a mystery to be embraced.” In a post-Newtonian world, power does not devolve from position in a static hierarchy but from the vitality of relationships, wherever they emerge in the community.
		Cooperrider’s seminal essay on the role of image, published in 1990, is titled “Positive image; positive action: the affirmative basis of organizing.” This essay and the one mentioned in the previous note are both reprinted in Appreciative Inquiry — Rethinking Human Organization Toward a Positive Theory of Change (Stipes Publishing, 2000).
