What’s the biggest problem here?
Why do you mess up so often?
Why do we still have those problems?
Why does everything go wrong all the time?
What possibilities exist that we have not thought about yet?
What’s the smallest change that could make the biggest impact?
What solutions would have us all win?
What makes my questions inspiring, energizing, and mobilizing?

Questions to Ponder … Questions to Ponder …
Would a full AI process be helpful for us at Echuca SC?
If so, what can we build on from today’s conversations?
How can we bring all voices – the “whole system” – into the room?
What are the next steps? Who could form a core group to
move things forward?
![Page 25: Appreciative Inquiry - Define and Discover -](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052706/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d2c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
When I dream alone, it is just a dream.
When we dream together, it is the beginning of reality.
When we work together, following our dream, it is the creation of heaven on earth.
(Adapted Brazilian Proverb)

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
