Abstract | Purpose: This study aims to evaluate The World Café (TWC) method as a social collaborative learning environment. TWC is a widely used large-scale intervention for such things as organizational change and development or community development programs. Design/methodology/approach: Three World Cafés were organized as part of a university research project on promoting sustainability-oriented innovation in the logistics sector. A total of 18 participants representing public and commercial organizations were interviewed on their experiences. Findings: Learning processes are linked to social and cognitive aspects that TWC intervention effectively structures. Practical implications: If a World Café is implemented according to the basic principles, it can be an effective environment for organizing non-formal learning in organizations. Originality/value: Although the gray literature on World Cafés is full of anecdotal evidence about its effectiveness, there is a dearth of empirical research underpinning the claims. (As Provided). |
