Creating Communities of Practice

Is your organization facing a "baby boomer brain drain"? Are you looking for ways to support cross functional groups to innovate and share knowledge?

If your organization is facing problems like these, you probably realize that e-learning and traditional classroom training events are only part of the solution.

Communities of practice - often called CoPs - are being used by forward thinking organizations to support informal learning, create innovative solutions, and transfer the tacit knowledge of experts to a new generation of workers. Some have obtained tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue as a result.

In this presentation, Dr. Bill Bruck shares lessons that he and his colleagues have learned from working with some of America's top corporations and creating CoPs for groups who are distributed across the globe.
