Friends,
CPsquare is offering its online workshop on Communities of Practice next
fall, starting on September 30th and presented by Etienne Wenger, John
Smith, and Bronwyn Stuckey. This online workshop examines what communities
of practice are, why they are important, how to develop, nurture, and
leverage them, and how to build a knowledge strategy around them.
This workshop is an extraordinary, participant-driven, interactive
learning experience. It provides the opportunity to consider community
issues in general and examine a range of specific communities of practice,
whether presented by our guest speakers or by workshop participants. The
workshop itself simulates a community of practice so that many community
issues are available for direct observation and reflection. In addition,
for many people this workshop serves as an entry point into a larger
community that's concerned with the world as a social learning system.
The workshop is held in three "active" weeks, alternating with three
"reflective" weeks. Participation in the workshop involves asynchronous
web-based conferencing, scheduled teleconferences, and
participant-organized meetings over the Internet.
The workshop participants come from many different industries, countries,
organizational settings, and professions. Guest speakers from leading
companies discuss their experience in implementing community-based
knowledge strategies. Details and registration forms are posted at:
