The Café Process Works When:
DESIGN

*Café set up and logistics are carefully managed
*Questions that truly matter to participants and sponsor
PROCESS
*Clear purpose but not a predetermined outcome. It is a joint exploration not a “sell”
*Effective hosting of the Café, not facilitation
*Foster collaboration and a spirit of imagination and flexibility among participants
*Practice the principles of the World Café throughout the process
*Making learning visible to participants
