Lean Coffee - A Conversation Group

Description

Lean Coffee™ is a structured yet open meeting format that leverages the expertise and needs of those present to make the meeting as relevant and practical as possible. The conversation provides a safe space for discussing topics, gathering feedback, exploring ideas, and learning from one another. Participants gather, set an agenda, and begin time-limited discussions. Although the name combines ‘Lean’ and ‘Coffee’, the group focuses on topics and ideas that are most important to them.

Why it works:

• Voices are heard, even if their topics are not chosen.
• Silent topic writing helps prevent the influence of others' ideas.
• Just-In-Time commitment. Regular check-ins ensure everyone is heard, keep the conversation focused, and show that your knowledge and expertise are valued. 

Facilitation:
During the first meetings, Dave Nave will start by introducing the format. Everyone’s role is to facilitate so that everyone participates and leaves with fresh insights.
