We were talking about how to lift the game of Modern Workplace Learning , and each had staked out a position, from human performance consulting to social/informal.

If we take the implications of the Coherent Organization to heart, we realize that the components include the work teams, the communities of practice (increasingly I think of it as a community of improvement ), and the broader network. In thinking a bit about the Future of Work, one of the issues is where to start.

The emergent nature of MOOCs can have interesting outcomes: They can enable the formation of Communities of Interests (CoIs), which can evolve into Communities of Practices (CoPs) if participants are keen on building the domain knowledge and practices. The desire to reach out with the intent to learn is a mindset.

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to me that it is one of the fundamental blocks of building a community of practice. A community grows around a domain where practitioners share their insights, knowledge and doubts, the work processes. Take Linux or the GitHub community for example.

You can also create internal communities of practice around skill sets that need continual attention or specific projects or tasks. The network these communities of practice create can extend far beyond the initial intent of the group and build strong connections among your team. More Resources.

She dedicates her energies to supporting the development of people who consult, design, develop, and teach in corporate and academic settings. It’s all good for thought leaders to encourage learning consultants and designers to support learning without always resorting to training, but people are somewhat flummoxed as to how to do that.
