The World Cafe Experience sets organizations in motion
Since 2007 we have organized the World Cafe for many organizations. Over the years the methodology has been strengthened in order to realize even more results from the dialogues.
Collaboration, learning from each other and change are often recurring themes. The World Cafe provides a strong platform to actually get connected.
Here you will find a wide range of World Cafes that we have held for municipalities, organizations in the field of education, health care services, financial and IT organizations. Of course we have also held our World Cafés in other fields of expertise.
