Date: Wednesday 17th August 2011, 6:00pm - 9:00pm. This is a free event. Please arrive at 6:00pm or shortly after, which will give you time to settle in and meet other people. Refreshments will be available. The cafe itself will start at 6:30pm. For those interested we normally go for a drink at a local pub after the event.

Theme:How does conversation change the way we see the world, and can it help change the world for the better?

In his little book on Conversation, Theodore Zeldin, in the opening chapter, says that "the aspect of conversation that particularly excites him is how conversation changes the way you see the world and even changes the world."

I have a similar interest and its part of my motivation for running my Knowledge Cafes to encourage deeper conversation not only in our business lives but in our personal and societal lives.

But to what extent do we learn to see the world differently through conversation and can it really help change the world for the better? This is the question I want to pose in this Knowledge Cafe.

Come along an share your thoughts. And borrowing on Theodore's words "You may get to emerge a slightly different person".

Video: Knowledge Cafe at KM Egypt 2010



This video was taken at KM Egypt in September 2010 where I was invited to run a Knowledge Cafe.

It is probably one of the best videos that not only describes my Knowledge Cafes but where you also get to see it in action and hear some of the insights from the people taking part.

Note: the room and the tables are not the ideal setting for a Knowledge Cafe nor is the reporting back process but often the Cafe needs to be adapted to fit the room and the number of participants.
