Communities of Practice

Purpose

Build learning communities that share knowledge across boundaries

How to Use

1. Introduce Wenger's Communities of Practice framework: domain (shared area of interest), community (people who care about it), practice (shared repertoire of approaches). 2. Assess whether a community of practice already exists informally. 3. If creating one: define the domain, recruit the community, and establish a practice-sharing rhythm (meetings, shared resources, co-learning). 4. Identify how to make value visible -- what does the community produce that the organisation cares about?
