Introduction

This event is one in a series of online Knowledge Cafés on Conversational Leadership, which are hosted on the Zoom video conferencing platform.

Each Café is themed on material from my online blook on Conversational Leadership.

Before each Café, I may ask you to do some homework and read one or more posts relating to the theme in my blook.

If you are unfamiliar with the Knowledge Café concept, this event is participatory. It is  NOT a webinar.

You do not need to have participated in an earlier Knowledge Café to participate in this one. All my Knowledge Cafés are stand-alone.

Theme: How Can Chatbots Aid Critical Thinking?

Many of today’s complex challenges, whether in business or society, demand strong critical thinking skills. Chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude 2, and Gemini offer innovative tools for enhancing analytical capabilities.

By engaging creatively with these technologies, individuals and organizations can gain deeper insights into pressing issues, sharpen decision-making processes, and expand their perspectives.

This Knowledge Café will explore how to effectively leverage chatbots to develop the critical thinking skills essential for addressing intricate global and societal challenges.

I will explore the theme of this Café and pose a question to initiate the conversation. Then, in Café style, we will divide into small groups for three rounds of discussions, followed by a whole group conversation.

Reading Material

Please read this post in my blook on the subject if you have the time, as it will help set the context for the conversation. It is not a prerequisite.
