Communities of Practice

“a group of people who share a concern, set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge
and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis.” (Wenger et al., 2002)

The 1-9-90 rule
What makes a successful CoP?
clear purpose – what will it be used to do?
creating a safe and trusted environment
committed core group of active participants
being motivated
knowing the needs of participants
having a clear action plan with activities to meet needs
blending face-to-face and online activities
This can all be achieved by good, active facilitation
