Term2.png COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE (CoPs)
A process of social learning where a group of people who share an interest, a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, collaborate to share ideas, find solutions, and build innovations without necessarily being in a formal work meeting. CoP members are bounded one another through exposure to a common class of problems, common pursuit of solutions, and embodying a store of knowledge, by shared practices and common beliefs. Community of practice generally cut across organizational boundaries and helps create and share knowledge. It is the best way to :


  • Learn while doing;
  • Ensure effective creating and sharing of knowledge and experience;
  • Co-learn about related practices across projects;

Step by Step

  1. Creation:
    • Decide what topic you wish to address in a community in order to identify the domain. Pick a compelling topic that will be of interest to many people in your organization and will be relevant to their work. The potential members must be passionate about the subject for collaboration and the domain can itself invite involvement.
    • Start a discussion on a domain or a problem and raised ideas for resolving the problem.
