Date and time
Location
LIVE ONLINE WEBINAR
Gurteen Knowledge Fleet United KingdomDescription
The Knowledge Café is a simple but flexible, conversational method that almost anyone can run. You do not need to be a professional facilitator.
The Café at its simplest brings a group of people together to have a conversation on a topic of mutual interest to understand better an issue but it can be adapted for a variety of purposes and at its best is a very powerful sense making tool.
The aims of the Café include the surfacing of the group’s collective knowledge; learning from each other; sharing ideas and insights; gaining a deeper understanding of a topic and the issues involved and exploring possibilities.

“It sounds such a simple idea, but until you have experienced a knowledge cafe you won't understand just how powerful they can be in connecting people, generating new ideas and tackling issues.
David, in particular, brings a special kind of energy to the room that really helps, but when you stop and think about it, we are given very little time in our working lives to engage honestly and authentically with one another in that uniquely human activity, that fundamental building block of trust and understanding; conversation."
Head of Performance and Knowledge Management
