Principal Owner: A Deliberate Appreciation-Based Practice

As Principal Owner of this evolving website, I guide a practical, appreciation-based practice for human-centered AI relationships, extending beyond the five-stage AI-5D framework—Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Deliver—to drive transformational change within a rapidly evolving technological landscape.   It empowers individuals and organizations to shape human-centered AI relationships through structured assessments and Outside-In Thinking.  These tools identify, measure, and leverage individual or team readiness, strengths, communication styles, and potential, providing actionable insights that guide growth, foster collaboration, and drive meaningful impact.

We make the most of your time. By humanizing questioning, fostering collaborative human-centered AI relationships, and embracing innovation, we ensure every interaction delivers meaningful, purposeful, and productive outcomes.  My focus is on how Appreciative Inquiry principles can shape healthier, more adaptive relationships with AI. We believe everyone has the potential to keep learning and growing, and we're here to help you reach your goals and succeed in an AI-driven environment.

Additionally, self-appreciation in human-centered AI relationships involves valuing your strengths and contributions, cultivating confidence and resilience that enable adaptive, collaborative interactions with AI systems and the people—stakeholders, leaders, colleagues, and others—affected by your decisions.

The Appreciation-Based Practice (AI-5D) recognizes that change is not linear but regenerative, unfolding through ongoing dialogue, collective inquiry, and the intentional expansion of human ecosystems. It equips organizations to create—not just respond to—transformation, particularly as human-centered AI relationships redefine work. Integrated assessments serve as cultural alignment playbooks that anchor change and reinforce organizational mission, purpose, and goals.

Organizational change requires more than strategy—it requires alignment, collaboration, and a human-centered approach. Our Appreciation-Based Practice (AI-5D) brings this to life. It’s a regenerative, strengths-driven process fueled by dialogue and shared inquiry, empowering teams to navigate and intentionally generate change. As AI reshapes how people work, this approach becomes a compass for building effective human–AI relationships. Our assessments provide cultural alignment playbooks that strengthen mission, purpose, and goals while guiding sustainable transformation.

Outside-In Thinking is a mindset that starts with your needs, experiences, and perspective when engaging with AI tools. Rather than focusing on internal organizational goals, it emphasizes your real-world context—how AI changes affect your work and learning. By observing, responding, and gathering feedback from both people and AI, you can adapt workflows, make smarter decisions, and explore new possibilities in an AI-driven environment.

Outside-In Thinking for Change  

Change within an organization involves managing resistance, engaging stakeholders, and using metrics and frameworks to support human-centered relationships. The Appreciation-Based Practice (AI-5D) is relational and regenerative—guided by dialogue, inquiry, and a commitment to strengthening talent and human ecosystems. It helps organizations not only navigate change but generate it with intention, especially as human-centered AI relationships evolve.             

• Organizational change is a multidimensional experience, balancing resistance, stakeholder perspectives, data, and human-centered AI relationships amid ongoing technological shifts. The Appreciation-Based Practice (AI-5D) views change as regenerative rather than linear, unfolding through dialogue, collective inquiry, and the intentional growth of human ecosystems. It enables organizations to create—not just react to—transformation, with integrated assessments serving as cultural alignment playbooks that reinforce mission, purpose, and goals.
• Using an appreciation-based approach during change allows you to guide decisions, services, and programs through the 5D process—define, discover, dream, design, and deliver—making AI-enabled change more holistic and effective.
