• Is your organization going through major change or upheaval?
• Is low morale sapping your company's strength and vitality?
• Has productivity dropped and you don't know why?
• Do people keep complaining about lack of communication despite your best efforts, and you're at a loss to know what they really want?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're not alone. These are all important issues that require companywide action to avoid dire consequences. But what action? What solutions?

Would you be surprised to learn that solutions can often come from the employees themselves? It's true. People at all levels, from entry level support, shop floor and front line staff up through supervisors and managers, hold a collective wisdom that would amaze you.

Unfortunately, in most companies it never emerges, because there's no mechanism to bring it out. If you'd like to explore how you can tap into the collective wisdom of your people, please talk to Helen about a World Cafe event.

The World Cafe is a very special type of group conversation that can begin the process of understanding and solving a wide range of issues in organizations of all types and sizes.

It has been called

• a way of including a diversity of voices in the discussion of common issues
• a tool to stimulate hope, innovation and the emergence of common goals
• a way of digging deep into the untapped knowledge of the group to find big, important thoughts and ideas we never knew were there

and much more.

Helen Wilkie will explore with you the issues facing your organization and how a World Cafe event would help. If you agree that this would be an appropriate intervention, she will collaborate with you in identifying the questions to be posed to the group and creating the structure and ambience of the venue. She will then facilitate the event itself and provide feedback and follow-up reports to help turn the conversation into actions that will bring the desired results.

Does that sound like a possible solution for you? Then call Helen at
