Gurteen Knowledge Cafe: KMPAP Conference, Hong Kong, 2006
A Gurteen Knowledge Café that I ran at the KMPAP 2006 conference in the Knowledge Management Research Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
, in 2006.This video is 40 minutes long and captures a whole Café. It is slightly unusual in that I hosted it with a colleague Raksha Sukhia.
Some of the small group conversations have been edited, but enough remains to get a feel for the dynamics, but the whole group discussion is included in almost its entirety.
It is a large Café, and the room and the layout of the table and chairs are far from perfect it looks a little chaotic. This is often the case in a public Café, but as you can see, this only adds to the energy in the room.
It is an excellent example of the degree of engagement and energy in a Café. Also, note the informality – another critical element of any Café.
If you’d like my help in designing and facilitating a customised Knowledge Café—whether like the example above or something completely different—I’m here to support you. Your Knowledge Café can be held in person (face-to-face) or online via Teams or Zoom. Let’s create a conversation that meets your needs.
