WORLD CAFÉ
Upon hearing “world café”, the first thing that comes to mind is far from what it really is. Personally, I thought that it definitely had some connection with coffee, and it indeed did. Apparently, it involves people divided into small groups of 4 or 5 and they have to share stuff about the topic at hand. After the sharing of every person or group, a synthesis is done based on all the ideas gathered in the event.
I learned that this just one of the effective ways of getting information needed to come up with a workable plan for change in the organization. Aside from sharing knowledge from person to person, it also builds a sense of community and allows people who are only meeting for the first time, to engage in active conversation. These are key components in making a successful large- scale intervention in an organization.
