When you are really in it, you don't see things (only from your perspective). But the external person may work with various community members indeed!<BR/><BR/>We never really asked whether peopple appreciated but Sibrenne and I had the impression that it was quite beneficial, and that it made people to think more consciously about their role indeed.Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-58317943054058762772007-02-14T22:40:00.000+01:002007-02-14T22:40:00.000+01:00Hi Joitske,"an external advisor/designer can see m...Hi Joitske,<BR/><BR/>"an external advisor/designer can see much clearer than an internal person when variety within a community of practice is flawed and hampering innovation"<BR/><BR/>Are you thinking about external advisor to the community or to the facilitators? Could you share some of you ideas about that? <BR/><BR/>When you and Sibrenne invited John Smith to talk about the ecollaboration community, I was happy you organized a session for facilitators AND community members as well. It helped me look at the potential of our community and what my role could be as a member in that community. Not sure if that is only because of my interest in community facilitation, or that it worked the same for other members as well (did you ask? ) <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>DorineDorine Ruterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982661523547949228noreply@blogger.com
