Conversation Café feedback sessionChair: Suzanne Spicer, Manchester Beacon

• The meeting divided into six tables, each of which addressed a different aspect of reward and recognition. Delegates could circulate to three different tables and take part in three 20 minute facilitated conversations.

• Each table facilitator worked through the same prompts, and with each new conversation summarised the points from previous conversations. At the end of the conversations, the groups synthesised their findings onto posters and reported back to the whole group, identifying one key insight and one key recommendation.
