Lean Coffee Workshops

Information on the Lean Coffee workshops in the 2019 LERC Conference

Developed in Seattle, USA in 2009, Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting at which participants gather, build an agenda and begin discussing. See leancoffee.org

Conversations are directed and productive because the democratic nature of the meeting, and because of the innate topic interest and expertise of the participants.

The LERC conference will operate an adapted approach, with each group (containing 7 participants, plus facilitators) having a broad key theme to direct the discussion and participants will suggest and discuss topics that fall under each theme. A facilitator team (of two) will provide guidance and ensure the output is captured effectively.

Conference delegates should select a particular lean coffee to attend before the conference.
