I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen.
I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue.

more explicit– our assumptions are revealed– we are forced to simplify things
• We can often learn more thanwe teach!
If we want to learn we should
teach!

ObjectivesObjectives
• To raise awareness & interest in the role of conversation in our organizational lives
• To encourage us to think about conversation and to improve the quality of our conversations

Business is a conversationBusiness is a conversation
Business is a conversation because the defining work of business is
conversation - literally.
And 'knowledge workers' are simply those people whose job consists of having interesting conversations.
David WeinbergerThe Cluetrain Manifesto
![Page 155: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Conversation is a meeting of mindsConversation is a meeting of minds
Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits.
When minds meet, they don't just exchange facts: they transform them,
reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in
new trains of thought.
Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.

KM is about understandingKM is about understanding
For all our knowledge, we have no idea what we're talking about.
We don't understand what's going on in our business, our market, and our world.
KM shouldn’t be about helping us to know more. It should be about helping us to
understand.
So, how do we understand things? It's through stories that we understand how the
world works.
David Weinberger, The Cluetrain Manifesto

DialogueDialogue
• When we engage each other in dialogue– we enter into a conversation with a view to learn from each
other– rather than impose our views on the other.
The kind of conversation I’m interested in is one in which you start with a willingness
to emerge a slightly different person.

BackgroundBackground
• Background: conversation & dialogue
• My dislike of ‘chalk & talk’ presentations
• My desire for people to engage with the subject and to learn through conversation
• Three concepts:– People already have the knowledge– A good question helps surface that knowledge– If people see things for themselves they are more committed
to act!
![Page 163: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
What is a Knowledge Café?What is a Knowledge Café?
• A knowledge café is a means of bringing a group of people together to have an open, creative conversation on a topic of mutual interest to surface their collective knowledge, to share ideas and to gain a deeper understanding of the subject and the issues involved.
![Page 164: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
Why is the K-CafWhy is the K-Caféé important? important?
• The world is a much more complex place than it used to be - at times even chaotic - it is not always clear what is going on - we need to take time to UNDERSTAND
• We do not find the time these days to have open conversations, we are under pressure to make quick decisions
• KM for example should not be about creating and sharing ever increasing knowledge but understanding more fully the knowledge that we do have!
![Page 165: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
Where can it be used?Where can it be used?
• Used for many purposes• To help form a team or community• To gain insight into a complex problem• To better understand an issue• To help solicit input to a new project• To get buy-in for a new project

What resources are needed to run a What resources are needed to run a K-CafK-Café?é?
• Not a lot to run to a simple format
• A group of people
• A facilitator or host
• A room with plenty of space
• Tables & chairs - ideally round tables to seat about five people– but you can run one in a lecture theatre if need be!
![Page 167: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
How do you run one?How do you run one?
• K-Cafés can be run in a number of different ways. Some formats are simple others are more complex
• I use a simple format
• A K-Café runs from 60 minutes to a couple of hours
• They work best with between 20 and 30 people
• But can be run with a dozen or as many as 100 people
![Page 168: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
The Knowledge CaféThe Knowledge Café
• One person speaks for 10-15 minutes to set the theme for the conversation– poses one or two key questions
• Group breaks into small groups of five to discuss - dialogue (30 mins)
• Come back together to have a large group conversation and to share insights (30 mins)
![Page 169: Social KM Cafe for SAFTI](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d4f0a0bb61eb9a438b470f/html5/thumbnails/169.jpg)

• When we engage each other in dialogue– we enter into a conversation with a view to learn from each

The Outcomes of a K-CafThe Outcomes of a K-Caféé
• Real outcome is what you take away in your head• New connections with people• A deeper understanding of the issue discussed• A deeper understanding and insight into other
people’s perspectives• A better appreciation of your own point of view and
how it is seen by others• A better knowledge of what you know and don’t know
and what others know and don’t know• In a better position to make more informed decisions
