Description: “Not so long ago, companies were reinvented by teams. Communities of practice may reinvent them yet again—if managers learn to cultivate these fertile organizational forms without destroying them.” -- Etienne C. Wenger and William M. Snyder, Harvard Business Review

In every organization, colleagues share knowledge and innovate solutions through communities of practice (CoPs). CoPs are characterized by their collaboration, agility and innovation. CoPs span organizational, temporal and geographic boundaries to synthesize and apply multi/trans disciplinary staff knowledge, skills and expertise to support their individual staff and to advance their enterprise goals.
