A playbook to collectively run and develop communities of practice
Communities of practice can bring groups with different knowledge perspectives together and can strengthen their capacity to work and learn creatively together while harnessing the collective intelligence in the organisation to deliver integrated policy work and overcome silo mentalities.
This award-winning, hands-on comprehensive toolbox helps you run and develop communities, networks and any other formal or informal structures that require collaboration and cooperation between various stakeholders who need to work together with a common purpose and vision.
Based on rigorous scientific research and vast empirical experience within the European Commission on communities of practice, the playbook consists of step-by step guidance, good practices and interactive visual boards allowing you to co-create a roadmap to develop, engage and empower your community at every stage of its journey across eight success facets: vision, governance, leadership, convening, collaboration and cooperation, community management, user experience, measurement.
