AI essentials cards

AI essentials is a pack of 21 cards, providing an understanding of the principles and practice of the organisational development philosophy Appreciative Inquiry. We start with a simple explanation of AI and its principles, look at its components and uses – including generativity, provocative propositions and AI evaluation – and include tools like appreciative conversations, the 5D cycle, SOAR and appreciative journaling.

Designed to demonstrate the principles behind Appreciative Inquiry, they’re a great tool for both practitioners training groups in AI skills, or people beginning their own AI journey. AI essentials and Food for Thought are resources used on the Certificate in Professional AI training courses that Appreciating People runs, developed in partnership with Liverpool Citizens and Liverpool Hope University.
