Why they matter for gatherings

Denise Zandee is an academic researcher focused on Appreciative Inquiry and generativity. Her work explores how groups can foster positive change and collaborative innovation through strengths-based approaches.

Facilitators and event designers should engage with Zandee's research to understand how generative practices and Appreciative Inquiry principles can shape gatherings that prioritize collective potential and meaningful participation.
