En este artículo comparto mi experiencia sobre cómo ayudé a una compañía de la gran minería en Chile en su proceso transformación organizacional. Y les mostraré cómo actúo en cada una de las seis fases del modelo que propongo; integrando prácticas de la Teoría U en el proceso de la Intervención Apreciativa. In this article I share my experience of how helping a large mining company in Chile with its organisational transformation process. I also show what I do in each of the six phases of the model, where I propose integrating practices of Theory U with the Appreciative Inquiry process.

The Right

Resilience is woven in a relational and narrative way for our protagonists to tell their stories of transformation: it has validated their exceptionality and the opportunity to live, the right to be heard and be participants in the decisions that impact their lives. These narratives were a trigger to open the co-creation of a pilot for a child parliament.

This article provides a creative account of contemporary nursing practice challenges by using a unitary appreciative inquiry process to create a metastory. A brief review of the Nurse Manifest Project is followed by the story “Nurse #65X89.” Nurses are encouraged to explore their own emerging stories and to define avenues for action, emancipation, and change for the profession.

This review serves to examine The Power of Appreciative Inquiry: A Practical Guide to Positive Change by Diana Whitney and Amanda Trosten - Bloom (2010). It will introduce the topic of Appreciative Inquiry, giving supporting information from the book, and discuss its adaptability. The authors discuss Appreciative Inquiry as a positive approach to change, introduces the 4D cycle associated with it, and uses it to explain how Appreciative Inquiry is carried out in many capacities at the organizational level. Furthermore, this review includes a look into the basic premise of Appreciative Inquiry and how this premise alone affords this Appreciative Inquiry process to be used outside of the business and organizational realm, particularly with families and individuals.

Developing Knowledge

This chapter describes the ways in which appreciative inquiry research has developed outlining its links to action research. Both share an emphasis on research for change, developing knowledge through an exploration of current practice, and an application of findings in informing strategies for the future. Where appreciative inquiry is distinct, however, is in the way that it focuses on positive aspects of practice rather than problems, thus facilitating participation in projects. This chapter gives some more details of the appreciative inquiry process and then an overview of related healthcare and IT research is presented. Following this some examples of the use of appreciative inquiry in IT research are given, and the chapter points to ways in which the use of appreciative inquiry can contribute to IT development.

Ternary Additions

The structural changes during reversible martensitic transformation of near-equiatomic NiTi alloys can best be studied in TEM at around room temperature. Ternary additions like Mn offer this possibility by suppressing the Ms temperature below RT. Besides the stable intermetallic phases (Ti2Ni, TiNi, TiNi3) several metastable phases with various crystallographic structures (rhombohedral, hexagonal, monoclinic, cubic) have also been reported to precipitate due to suitable annealing procedures.TiNi:Mn samples with 0.9 and 1.3 at% Mn were arc melted in argon atmosphere and homogenized at 948 °C for 72 hours in high vacuum in an infrared furnace. After spark cutting slices of 0.2 mm, TEM specimens were prepared by electrochemical polishing with the twin-jet technique in methanol - perchloric acid electrolyte. The TEM study was carried out in a JEOL 200 CX analytical electron microscope.In this paper a new intermetallic phase is reported which has been observed in both samples by TEM during the martensitic transformation process.
