It can be a challenge to reserve a regular slot in busy people's diaries for an informal meeting that doesn't necessarily result in any actions. But I think it's well worth it. At least, I know that I find it useful to take a step back from what I'm doing to think about what's round the corner, or learn from what others have done. It's good to mix up the sessions, from a "bring your social media anecdote" to "this is how x are changing the way their data is reused". And as you say it's definitely a good idea to get interesting people from outside the team to come in and be provocative. We’re still running these at the Foreign Office.
