I'm with you on your two points. I imply "open systems" when i refer to "what's working in the system" - it's the whole system - inclusive of all stakeholders. In facilitating workshops or summits, having customers, vendors, family members involved provides a richer experience through all the multiple lenses. If clients are open to that inclusion, you end up with such a rich set of perspectives and potential outcomes. That's why public summits on environmental issues or political issues are great, because you have all those perspectives being heard and potentially acted upon. So good point of clarification. I am talking about open systems not closed systems. I often use a blend of participatory methodologies - Open Space, World Cafe, Search Conferencing through the appreciative, valuing lens.
Regarding coaching, indeed there are many tools and ways to work with individuals, depending on the client goals. My world view through the Appreciative Inquiry lens, is to see the wholeness in a person and I am biased to look at what their strengths are as a starting point and build from there. Too often, people come with a mindset that weaknesses need to be addressed first. It's a choice of focus.
Do Let me know if I have interpreted your comment as you intended, and my response has relevance to your thinking.
