Coffee-Machine Ambush

A guerrilla in-person tactic: set up with a laptop near the coffee machine closest to a target stakeholder's office, and wait for them to appear during the day to catch a brief informal conversation.

Unlike The Un-Meeting, which relies on calendar knowledge to intercept a stakeholder at a specific known location, this tactic relies on the predictable gravity of a shared amenity — position yourself where a busy person is statistically likely to pass, rather than where you know they'll be at a given moment.
