Communities of practice in organisations: Interview with Wenger
On the learning conversations blog I found a video interview with Etienne Wenger in which he answers quite some basic questions about communities of practices in organisation. What they are, when not to foster them (they are not a panacee), how sponsorship of communities in an organisation differs from managing communities. Highlights: think about communities when there is a dynamic knowledge problem. Practitioners need to be in the lead. When there is a clear knowledge gap, just produce a manual. When there is a problem with an organisational process, don't try and solve it with a community of practice. And when there is really no-one who is passionate about the domain, forget about it too. Watch it if you have some 15 minutes and are interested in communities.
The video disappeared. Do you have another link to it?
ReplyDeleteHi Jack, I followed back the original link and it happens that the video was removed from Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/2215679)... I have no clue why, but if you want to find out you may contact the owners of the account http://vimeo.com/user495657 multimedia vision
