Webinar: Power of Community – Experience sharing

· Materiaalit · Webinaari

Community of Practice (CoP) continues to be interesting and challenging topic among people working in large-scale development organizations. I got familiar with this concept end 2009 for the first time. After discussing the topic couple of times both in public conferences and in company internal meetings I have just recently realized this is not after all an obvious practice in all organizations.

What makes it then so challenging and what community of practice is all about? I will describe my view and describe also some characteristics for a good CoP to avoid bad CoPs.

With recordable and free webinars, we answer your questions and wishes.
