Here’s what we’d do
Pair colleagues from different functions around one concrete prompt, such as something their team wishes others understood. Keep the conversation informal and avoid turning it into a status report or a request for immediate favors.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Share the prompt and a short finish time; let people pass on personal questions.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Give both people equal time, then find one point of useful overlap.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Exchange a preferred way to follow up without creating an automatic recurring meeting.
Choose your version
A few things to know
Provided coffee or optional individual orders
Provided coffee or optional individual orders. Agree the total before purchases or bookings. This is a planning suggestion, not a live price or availability quote.
Is this your kind of plan?
A small-group process show-and-tell. More shared context, but less one-to-one conversation.
- Check calendars and clarify whether refreshments are provided.
- Confirm the date, meeting point or call link, and spending with everyone before committing.
If the first version doesn't fit
A small-group process show-and-tell. More shared context, but less one-to-one conversation.
Keep a good idea
Good idea. Maybe later?
Save it for your people, or choose when to revisit it.
