Knowledge Cafes have been successfully running in the North West of England for over 6 years. With an established Liverpool presence a Manchester launch has now been planned to be held on June 28th at Starbucks Trafford Park Manchester. The Café will start at 6pm with a coffee tasting session and nibbles provided by Starbucks. The programme will then begin at 6.30 and go on until 9pm.
Knowledge Cafes can be used to:
– Give people a voice for them to feel heard, making them less cynical and more engaged in their work
– As a stimulus for innovation by challenging people to reflect on their thinking; help them surface new ideas and make new connections
– Breaks down organizational silos
– As a sales tool to engage our customers in conversation and thus better understand their needs and for them to better understand our products or service
– Surface hidden problems and opportunities that exist in our organisation or in a department or project – especially ones caused by lack of communication.
This initial café will explain the background, format and purpose of the Knowledge Café concept. Following this will be specific question/s around the subject of knowledge cafes as an area of discussion for the rest of the evening.
