Annotation: In the age of globalization it is important to distinguish between adaptive
learning and innovative learning. Innovative learning is appreciative
learning. Appreciative learning values what is best about a human system
as a springboard for going beyond previously accepted constraints. Appreciative
learning cultures nurture competence for accentuation of past successes,
evoking images of possible futures, nourishing a spirit of restless inquiry,
generating hope in the human capacity to deliberately notice, anticipate
and nurture positive potential. Appreciative learning cultures nurture
innovation actions by fostering an affirmative focus, provocative competence,
generative systems of meaning and a collaborative spirit of inquiry.
