grow imagination~drive appreciative change
~ imaginement ® was developed as a pedagogic tool for process-oriented guided inquiry for college students to enhance their attentional seeing. Its introduction to business academics at a Wise Management conference in Shanghai, China, PRC, was well-received. This arts-based approach also supports science learning (STEaM) by moving beyond literal seeing in order to perceive and actualize patterns that spark both ideation and innovation.
