About World Inquiry

The World Inquiry into business as an agent of world benefit is a worldwide action-research initiative that uses Appreciative Inquiry (AI) to learn more about the role of business in society. The best of the uncovered innovations are profiled in the Innovation Bank.

By showcasing the best in business-in-society innovations, The World Inquiry sparks conversations about the role and potential of business to act as an agent of world benefit.

We are especially interested in the following questions:

• How differently will the world's environment and the quality of life of its people appear to you when business serves as an agent of community and world benefit?
• How can companies create a healthy environment and healthy profit margins through use of the means and tools of Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship?

The World Inquiry invites answers to these questions. It is our belief that the sharing of ideas and innovations will promote new thinking, conversations, connections, and learning that will lead the world toward a healthy and peaceful future.
