Taking accountability through World Cafe - first timer!

hi all I've finally done it - I've hosted my first world cafe. It was a rough ride persuading my business leadership team to let me do this as a session within a conference.

I think we must work in partnership with our technology partners to ensure that the future retains conversation - or there will be no future

Hi Yvonne, welcome to this Community of Learning and Practice.

Great that you could see the WC principles through the lense of having designed a tool yourself, that is always best! with you on the 'back to conversation'...
It'd be wonderful if you could take a moment to write a bit more about yourself in the introduction-section Yvonne...

May this space serve you well.

Please let me know if i can help you here, best wishes,
Benjamin [Global Communications Team]
