The document discusses the Gurteen Knowledge Café process, which is a structured conversation method for knowledge sharing. It involves a short presentation to introduce a topic, followed by small group discussions at tables in response to a posed question. The groups then reconvene to share insights in a whole group conversation. The goal is to have an open dialogue that allows participants to emerge with new understanding and perspectives on the issue.

Gurteen Knowledge Cafe Masterclass: half-day workshop on how to run Gurteen Knowledge Cafes given as post-conference workshop to HKKMS 2010 Conference in Hong Kong March 31st 2010.
Why do communication strategies often not work? How is a vision different than a mission statement? How can marketing materials, websites, and social media interactions reflect this vision? How can you tap into deeper emotion and motivation for donors, stakeholders, employees, and volunteers? This webinar will explore what is beneath and beyond strategy – how to become more digitally and operationally aligned with what matters.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

The most widespread and
pervasive learning in your
organization may not be
happening in training rooms,
conference rooms or board rooms
but in the cafeteria, the hallways
and the cafe across the street.
Junita Brown & David Isaacs

The knowledge café has led to a dramatic improvement in
terms of inter-team dialog, collaboration & knowledge
sharing.
Many internal work processes are now being overhauled for
the better as a result of these knowledge cafes & we have
seen an explosion of new ideas & initiatives on the part of
staff at all levels of the organization.
Simply put, the knowledge cafe format has empowered all
our staff to speak up and take the initiative in ensuring the
successful development of the ISN.

– such as provided by Khan Academy, iTunes U or YouTube
Edu
– class is for hands-on work and face-to-face interaction with
teachers and peers

Our job is to have interesting conversations
Business is a conversation
Business is a conversation because the
defining work of business is conversation -
literally.
And 'knowledge workers' are simply those
people whose job consists of having
interesting conversations.
David Weinberger
The Cluetrain Manifesto

8. Conversation is our most effective KM tool
Our most effective KM tool is conversation.
The words we choose, the questions we ask, and
the metaphors we use to explain ourselves, are
what determine our success in creating new
knowledge
as well as sharing that knowledge with each
other.
Nancy Dixon
Common Knowledge
Conversation is a learning technology
Conversation is the most powerful learning
technology ever invented.
Conversations carry news, create meaning, foster
cooperation, and spark innovation.
Encouraging open, honest conversation through
work space design, setting ground rules for
conversing productively,
and baking conversation into the corporate culture
spread intellectual capital, improve cooperation,
and strengthen personal relationships.
Jay Cross, Informal Learning
Conversation is a meeting of minds
Conversation is a meeting of minds with
different memories and habits.
When minds meet, they don't just exchange
facts: they transform them, reshape them,
draw different implications from them,
engage in new trains of thought.
Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the
cards: it creates new cards.
Theodore Zeldin
Conversation

9. KM is about understanding
For all our knowledge, we have no idea what
we're talking about.
We don't understand what's going on in our
business, our market, and our world.
KM shouldn’t be about helping us to know
more. It should be about helping us to
understand.
So, how do we understand things? It's through
stories that we understand how the world
works.
David Weinberger, The Cluetrain Manifesto
Dialogue
The kind of conversation I’m
interested in is one in which you
start with a willingness to emerge a
slightly different person.
Theodore Zeldin
Conversation
Principles of Dialogue
• Suspend assumptions, do not judge
• Observe & listen to one another
• Welcome differences & explore them
• Allow taboo subjects to be raised safely
• Listen to your inner voice
• Slow the discussion Dialogue is based on
the work of the physicist
• Search for the underlying meaning David Bohm
www.km-me.com 9 info@km-me.com
10. Dialogue
Suppose we were able to share
meanings freely without a
compulsive urge to impose our
view or conform to those of others
and without distortion and self-
deception.
Would this not constitute a real
revolution in culture?
David Bohm, Physicist
Gurteen Knowledge Café Process
What’s the process?
• Speaker makes a short presentation 5 – 10 mins
• Poses a trigger question
• Small group conversations at tables
• Three rounds 10 – 15 mins
• Whole group conversation in a circle 15 mins
• Share actionable insights 15 mins
• Two hours in total
www.km-me.com 10 info@km-me.com
11. The tables
People need to
be close
enough to touch
each other
Café Principles
• Relaxed, non-threatening, open conversation
• Close to a pub or café conversation
• No manipulation; no hidden agendas
• Everyone equal; no table leaders; no reporting back
• No one forced to do anything – OK to just listen
• Trust people to talk about what is important to them
• OK to go off-topic
• No summarization or attempt to reach consensus
• No capture of outcomes; no flip charts in the room
What are the outcomes?
• Outcomes are what you take away in your head
• Deeper understanding of the issues discussed
• Deeper insight into other people’s perspectives
• Better appreciation of your own point of view
• Improved relationships
• Position to make better decisions & to innovate
www.km-me.com 11 info@km-me.com
12. The Café is not about
• Making decisions
• Gaining consensus
• Capturing stuff
• Making plans
• Manipulating people in some way
In conclusion
Conversation for Empowerment
• Conversation does many things
– Conversation improves understanding
– Conversation provides insights
– Conversation helps clarify situations
– Conversation builds relationships
– …
• When people engage in conversation they move from
being passive observers of the world and are inspired
to action. The energy it generates is amazing.
• Conversation is intrinsically empowering
