What is an Einblau Blue Sky Café© session?
The Einblau Blue SkyCafé© is a facilitated strategy session modeled after The World Café – a powerful process used in global leadership initiatives. It’s an exciting way to:
- Stimulate collective imagination in a comfortable, fun atmosphere,
- Challenge your group to think outside the box,
- Expand ideas and build upon the thinking of other participants.

“The Blue Sky Café approach to our staff retreat provided a very effective, not to mention fun, way to engage and energize the whole organization in bringing CASB’s mission, vision and values to life. The laughter, creativity, camaraderie and sense of common purpose that we generated at the café has carried over into our day-to-day work together. I recommend the approach to other organizations seeking similar outcomes.”
John Gunn, CEO, CA School of Business |
Why is it called a Café?
A Blue Sky Café© is fun physical space that creates a casual, welcoming atmosphere. In this kind of environment, people do their most creative thinking. Participants are prompted with questions and guided discussion. They are encouraged to explore ideas in unconventional ways, allowing the group to easily build upon each other’s concepts.
The Blue Sky Café© will:
- Provoke thought,
- Generate energy,
- Focus inquiry,
- Open up ideas and possibilities.

Café conversations are the most reliable way I have yet encountered for all of us to tap into collective creating. The World Café is not a technique. It is an invitation into a way of being with one another that is already part of our nature.
