Dear all,
Spring is finally here to stay and the days are getting longer.
The corporate planning process is mostly over and organizations are moving towards communicating
these plans internally. As practitioners we wish you all the very best in these efforts.
We are very fortunate that in the coming month of May we have two excellent events on the World
Cafe in this part of the world. The authors and co-founders of the work, Juanita Brown and David
Issacs would be in Bali and then in Singapore in the early and mid-parts of May to be a part of these
events. Make sure you catch these events! See below for more details.
March has been a productive month for the network, meeting and sharing with more organizations
taking deliberate steps to implement Learning Organization as well as working with various teams in
uncovering systemic structures. Did you see the underlying structure that cause HFMD cases to be on
the rise and the leverage for intervening and overcoming the oldest profession on earth - prostitution?
Yes, it has definitely been an exciting month indeed!
Do feel free to pass this on to anyone you think would want to know about these events.
We wish you a pleasant month ahead!
Warm regards
Sheila Damodaran

In Juanita Brown's words she too is excited to meet all of you, "I'm very happy for us to share in
Singapore, the "deeper essence" and meaning of the World Cafe as well as be available for any
questions/reflections so your local practitioners can have a sense of the broader context and
possibilities of this way of being in dialogue together around questions that matter --- beyond
brainstorming to collective intelligence!"
This is a very rare and precious event! Juanita is stopping over for a day in Singapore and she
has agreed to meet the practitioners of Singapore and interested World Cafe practitioners!

2006 GLOBAL SoL AND RELATED GROUPS' DATES:
|
| | SOCIETY FOR ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING (SoL Global) DATES:
|
"For a long time I had felt like a mouse on a corporate treadmill and I was curious to find out how the
programmes was going to provide me with some new insights and fresh perspectives. As the days unfolded, I
thought the program was pleasant, relaxing and a good opportunity to recharge the battery. It wasn't until I
came home, however, when it suddenly dawned on me that I had subtly changed. It was as if in this moment
of stillness in Vermont, I had changed a lens on my mental camera and was looking at the world in a different
way. As if in a moment of connection with life and the universe, I finally understood that our greatest power
to change the world lies in our power to see beyond the veil."

| | ACTION DESIGN INSTITUTE DATES:
|
"Enhancing our capacity for generative conversation, especially in dealing with highly contentious issues, is
vital in building learning organizations. The work of Action Design is an essential foundation in building this
capacity."
- Peter Senge, Society for Organizational Learning.
"The Action Design Institute is among the most powerful developmental experiences I've had in my career. I
now have tools and approaches to help me understand dilemmas, appreciate the perspective of others and
know how to help when the conversation appears stuck. - Global Quality Manager, BP Solar. .... "I really enjoyed
the Action Design workshops when I took them but I also noticed that they had a 'time release' quality in my
life. It's been a gradual process but I have actually caught myself seeing things very differently." - An
Organizational Development Director.
