<DIV><BR></DIV>Patrick: I haven't heard of the Knowledge Cafe, but it
sounds really <BR>interesting - thanks for all the detailed information on
it.<BR><BR>My guess is that the process, although self-organizing and fast would
not <BR>yield as "rich" material because:<BR>(a) the groups do not have an
opportunity to hear all of the issues and <BR>create the agenda from their own
passion<BR>(b) there is not enough time for people to take the time to
listen to what <BR>other people have to say<BR><BR>Having said that - for those
of us with clients who can't imagine spending a <BR>couple of days without an
agenda and still have a rich outcome, it maybe a <BR>way of moving them into the
process. The downside of course, is that they <BR>might stay
there.<BR><BR>Lin Grist<BR></BODY></HTML>
