The World Café is part of our practice firm and took place on Tuesday, 17th November. But what does World Café actually mean?
The World Café method replaces the job rotation in eXpand. It is an interactive and problem-solving-oriented method. During the session all participants are working together and learn about each other's tasks and challenges and are exchanging ideas.
This inspiring atmosphere of small informal groups supports the brainstorming and enables an informal way of communication. Unknown cross-links and synergies between different areas can be discovered or evaluated. Furthermore this method enables to create innovative ideas for the further developments of the participant's companies.
Our team leaders took care of organizing and preparing the world café. They also created the flip charts to show the process and tasks for each department and process. Furthermore they did the moderation that at anytime the participants weren't lost in the process. At the end of the discussions each participant could leave his "footprints" annotations to getting more ideas.
