Stumbled upon Lean Coffee. Lean movement adventures into coffee brewing? No, it is about structured, but agenda-less meeting with participants generated topics, or lean meeting. It is not truly agenda-less, but the topics of the meeting agenda are participant-sourced and participant-judged or voted. So, instead of top-down, but more democratic and bottom-up approach.

The structure of Lean Coffee has three major components:

• To discuss
• Discussing
• Discussed

Similar structure has already permeated in some other areas, such as Trello:

And there is an app (webapp) for that: Qoffee.

However, does Lean Coffee work? Will it fall into the prey of groupthink? I don’t know. But it is time to find out.
