- The PLL (phase lock loops) community does not "report" to any business unit or product line; it is of, by, and for its members. But it is not a debating society or an affinity group. It exists to
perform real work and to provide a vehicle for collaboration and interaction among technical people. It conducts formal design reviews. It won special funding to develop
two advanced PLL prototypes outside the control of any specific product group. It has even
created a "PLL place" -- a lab, borrowed from one of the product groups that benefits from its work -- that houses special equipment the CoP buys.
- National wants to extend the success of the PLL community across the company. (There are now four recognized CoPs at National, with several more on the horizon.) It has created a CoP Council to provide advice on communities of practice, offer technology support, and lobby for funding for community projects. It has distributed a CoP Toolkit to help rank-and-file technologists build their own communities of practice. It encourages CoPs to create home pages on the World Wide Web to help members communicate with each other -- and to share their work with the rest of the company.
