In “The Fifth Discipline”, his pioneering work on the learning organization, Peter Senge writes that the practice of dialogue is a key skill for team learning. Dialogue is commonly confused with discussion, but as defined by Senge it is distinctly different. As a result of this confusion, the skills that enable effective dialogue are often underdeveloped or misunderstood by teams. In this session we’ll use a specific dialogue format called World Café to explore the many factors that influence dialogue quality, and how to accelerate agile team learning through the use of dialogue.
