Cultivating communities of practice

January 26, 2009 – 12:17 pm

Communities of Practice specialist Steve Dale has a terrific slide deck here on setting up and running CoPs. Key point: “The difference between a vibrant and successful CoP and one that meanders aimlessly with little or no contributions is down to the facilitator (or coordinator, moderator, cultivator). Members of the CoP have been sufficiently motivated to join the CoP; it is up to the facilitator to inspire the members to connect, collaborate and co-create”.
