Norms for Working Together • One person speaks at a time • All ideas will be listened to respectfully • Share the airspace • No side conversations • Observe time frames
Reviewing NTF Working Recommendations: Discussion • ClusterA (Recs 1 and 2): An integratedapproach for AHSN’s. Tables 7,8,9 • Cluster B (Recs 3 and 7):Opportunities to meet nationally and internationally. Tables 5,6 • Cluster C (Recs 4 and 5):Relationships between AHSN'sand governments. Tables 3,4 • Cluster D (Rec 6): FPT dialogue to ensure appropriate financial resources, mechanisms and programs. Tables 1,2,10
Reviewing NTF Working Recommendations: Discussion Questions: • What did you particularly like about these recommendations? • What suggestions to you have for changes to these recommendations?
What is a Knowledge Café? • “A means for a group of people to have an open, creative conversation on a topic of mutual interest to gain a deeper collective understanding of the subject and the issues involved” (Wikepedia)
Why use Knowledge Cafés? • Each participant represents an aspect of the whole system’s diversity • As each person has the chance to connect in conversation, more of the intelligence inherent in the group becomes accessible.
How does a Knowledge Café work? • Sit at a table assigned a recommendation you would like to discuss • One person has been assigned to be the “table facilitator” to stay behind tell the table’s story • Change tables after each of the three 25 minute “rotations” • At the end of the three rounds there will be a debrief
What happens during the conversations? • Each member is asked to offer their individual perspective and listen for what is emerging “in the middle of the table” • Open up the conversation • Use the tablecloths to record the emerging ideas • Each time you travel to a new table you bring with you the threads of the last round and interweave them with those brought by others
Building Momentum: A Blueprint for Action Discussion • What do you think are the key challenges to making this recommendation a reality? • What do you think are the key enablers to make this recommendation a reality? • How important is this recommendation? (Rate on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being not important and 5 very important) • Who needs to take the lead to initiate action on this recommendation? (Round 3 only)
