Defining Roles for Effective Knowledge Café Facilitation PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Workshop Facilitation Techniques (Volume 1) PowerPoint presentation, outlines the distinct roles and responsibilities associated with facilitating a Knowledge Café, a structured conversational process aimed at fostering collaborative dialogue and knowledge sharing. It is divided into 3 main sections: the Café Host or Facilitator, Table Host, and Participants, each with specific duties that contribute to the overall effectiveness of the gathering.
The Café Host or Facilitator is responsible for setting the tone and purpose of the event. This includes working with the planning team to define the Café's objectives, selecting appropriate participants, and creating an inviting atmosphere. They must ensure that the purpose is clearly communicated and that the questions for discussion are visible, guiding the flow of conversation.
The Table Host plays a crucial role during the discussions. They are tasked with managing the logistics of the Café, encouraging participation, and ensuring that key insights are documented. They should remain at their table while others rotate, facilitating continuity and connection between different groups. This role emphasizes the importance of capturing ideas and fostering an environment where participants feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.
Participants are encouraged to actively engage in discussions, listen for key themes, and contribute their insights. Their role is vital for generating a rich exchange of ideas. The slide emphasizes that while each role has its responsibilities, the collaborative nature of the Knowledge Café means that success relies on the collective effort of all involved.
Understanding these roles can significantly enhance the effectiveness of any Knowledge Café, making it a valuable tool for organizations aiming to leverage collective intelligence.
This slide is part of the Workshop Facilitation Techniques (Volume 1) PowerPoint presentation.
