An Ideation Café is a conversational method used to generate ideas to address a particular issue, problem, or opportunity. It is an adaptation of the Knowledge Café and avoids some of the criticisms of the traditional brainstorming process.
Listening to others’ verbalized experiences stimulates memories, ideas, and experiences in participants.
This is also known as the group effect where group members engage in “a kind of ‘chaining’ or ‘cascading’ effect; talk links to, or tumbles out of, the topics and expressions preceding it”

Status: Stub. I plan to fully describe this later but basically, the process is similar to the Knowledge Café except that there is a focus on capturing the ideas generated.
