International Executive Workshop

What’s unique about this offer

• The workshop will be designed as a deep learning conversation among invited executives, supported by re-known subject matter experts and and collaborative technologies.
• This workshop will be not the typical “lecture+Q&A” conferences held about “communities of practice;” it will provide a direct experience of the power of knowledge sharing in a community of peers.
• Content richness and workshop design will reflect the combined knowledge and experience of a world-class faculty.

Topics will include

• Measuring value creation with communities of practice
• The place of communities in a robust knowledge strategy
• Giving strong mandate to communities while respecting their self-organized nature
• Communities as generators of strategic capabilities for the organizations
• Growing an inter-locking network of communities
• Visualizing value from communities
• What makes communities self-sustaining and self-evolving

Participants will have a chance to:

• Learn about the state-of-the-art and emerging trends in designing and leveraging communities of practice
• Network with colleagues from other organizations, responsible for their "communities of practice" strategy
• Experience the power of a technology-supported, ad-hoc community of peers
• Contribute to shaping the research agenda on communities practice
