GOING DEEPER

For those who are now totally intrigued and excited about the concept of social learning and COP’s, here is some additional information for you to dive in a little deeper.  It is from Emily Webster starting with her TED talk, Building Successful Communities or Practice.

Watch the video, then read the attached article, it provides even more connections to the different ways COP’s can be impactful.

Summary: Communities of practice can be powerful tools to enable both individuals and organisations to increase their effectiveness. By bringing together people who share a common interest or passion, new skills are learned and developed.

People are often put in situations where they’re empowered, but they don’t know how to move forward. Sink or swim is often used as the management justification for this. At #mtpcon London, Emily Webber says that although it’s seen as a rite of passage, it doesn’t work for the majority of people. Communities can be the way to bring support to those in this situation. People are better together.
