CPsquare is offering its online Foundations of Communities of Practice
workshop starting on Oct 6th, 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 simulates a community that's global and generative. 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 experience of the
improvisation that's necessary to make a community work is powerful and is
something you really can't get from a book.
The workshop space is like a curriculum and the workshop schedule itself
is designed to be meaningful:

Participation in the workshop involves asynchronous web-based
conferencing, scheduled teleconferences, and participant-organized
meetings over the Internet. Mentors from previous workshops augment the
simulated community, the faculty, and the guest speakers to provide a very
rich experience of learning in community.
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:
