When you compete on time and on sustainable innovation, organizational performance is a function of two-way, value-adding relationships between the formal organization and its informal communities of practice.

In this experiential learning journey we will explore:

• The core distinctions and processes of communities of practice, and how to help them thrive

• How to connect "islands of knowledge" with knowledge sharing networks

• How communities of practice reduce the cost of creating and coordinating better ways of working together

• Why "community facilitation" should be a target of ongoing capability development in the HR and OD functions

• How a global community of "knowledge ecology" pioneers use the Web for enhancing their organization's innovation quotient
