The ATD-GTC Training Community of Practice Presents
The World Café – A Learning Methodology that Turns Passion and Dialogue in to Action
Based on systems theory, people often self-organize around their passion. Learn how to focus a group on a “burning question” – something everyone cares about. Then harness the group’s energy in to action using the World Café process for change. The World Café has been developed by Organization Development practitioners over the past two decades and has been used in many organizations around the world, such as Hewlett-Packard and GlaxoSmithKline. It is highly engaging and promotes a participative process for people who care about a common purpose. We will learn how the process works by experiencing it. Led by Bob Randall, Professor of Management at the College of St. Scholastica, participants will help ATD Twin Cities identify learning topics for 2020 through the World Café process. Bob Randall, EdD, MBA is an Assistant Professor of Management at the College of St. Scholastica in the MBA Leadership and Change program on the Twin Cities campus. He is also CEO of Transcend Engagement LLC (www.transcendengagement.com), a provider of employee engagement technology and consultancy firm.

Bob has his MBA in Finance and Doctorate in Organization Development, both from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN.

Lavine Award for Teaching Excellence, the highest academic recognition given by CSS.

Following his work as the VP of Human Resources and Organization Development for the St. Mary’s/Duluth Clinic Health System (now Essentia Health System), he became Chair of the Management Department at St. Scholastica in 2001.
