  Is anyone on this list familiar with a process called Knowledge Cafe?  Any thoughts on how effective it is as a collaborative learning process?  How it would compare with Open Space for the same purpose?

************************
I have been part of one LC -- and it appeared to work fine. But compared to an Open Space it seemed to me to be pretty thin. I guess if I had the time, and wanted to go deeply, I would opt for OS. However, if the objective is in/out quickly with issues surfaced and some conversation -- LC could do it. It certainly looks more traditional and could keep sponsors and participants (initially) in a happier frame of mind. But I would never recommend it for "Heavy Lifting."
