Half-day online workshop using Zoom

What's a knowledge cafe? How can structured conversations help the knowledge, information and library communities? How do they work online? Attend this half-day online workshop led by David Gurteen of Gurteen Knowledge and get an introduction to the Knowledge Café and how it can bring benefits now. 

The Knowledge Café is a simple method to bring a small group of people together to have a lightly structured conversation on a topic for a specific business purpose. 

In this workshop, David will explain the Café process and will share with you real-life stories (from almost 20 years of running Cafés around the world) of some of the many ways in which  the Café has been used or adapted within organisations for a broad range of purposes such as to:

• Share knowledge
• Generate ideas
• Make better sense of an issue
• Improve decision making
• Support sales meetings and
• Mitigate risks

The workshop will take the format of a Knowledge Café with two presentation sessions each culminating in small-group, break-out room conversations followed by a whole group conversation. This event is suitable for knowledge, information and library staff across all sectors and will run from 10am-1pm using Zoom.
