Presented by Deb Wallace, The Kennedy Group | |
The Course
With new business rules emerging in the knowledge economy, communities of practice are a concrete example of how innovative organizations are putting their knowledge to work. Through a meeting of the minds, community members are able to pool their expertise, build their information stores, share their experience, test new ideas, improve on past processes and procedures, and find solutions that contribute to creating a competitive advantage. Innovative organizations are implementing community strategies to realize business imperatives and increase their capability to out perform.
These age-old forums have the potential to build capacity through learning and collaboration if they are:
- Aligned with organizational imperatives
- Founded on knowledge and learning principles
- Leveraged through an explicit community strategy.
In this session, Deb will provide an overview of the community structure within the context of building organization and individual capabilities as well as explore the role that information professionals can play in increasing community value.
