World Café Dialogue: Harnessing Collective Intelligence and Creating Change through Productive Encounters Topic: A Framework for Eco-Innovations that Matter
Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to harness collective intelligence to create actionable innovation around our most intractable challenges? World Café is a highly engaging method for channeling the brilliance of a roomful of independent thinkers into a coherent pattern of action.  It is a user-friendly approach to create cooperative dialogue around matters that matter.  In a World Café dialogue, small, intimate conversations build on each other as people move between tables, cross-pollinate ideas and make new connections around their work, their life and their preferred future.  Because of its unique structure, the Café method enables large groups to think collaboratively and creatively as part of a single, “threaded discussion”.  Mary Kipp, your café host, will provide just enough structure and “orienteering” as the process unfolds to surface a framework for Eco-Innovations. 

Café host:
Mary Kipp, Consultant, Executive Coach, Founder, Kipp and Associates
