The Knowledge Café as a Research Technique

I have come to learn over the last 15 years that the Knowledge Café is more a state of mind than it is a fixed process. It is a way of viewing the world through a conversational lens. It is about looking at any organizational process or activity and asking:

How can I apply the Knowledge Café philosophy and principles to make this task more effective by making it more conversational and engaging?

You can adapt the Knowledge Café for a variety of purposes.

I particularly like this application by Shawren Singh at the University of South Africa that describes how the Knowledge Café can be adapted to refine a theoretical conjecture..

It has also been used in Academia as an innovative teaching strategy.

How do you think you might adapt it?
