Introduction

In this video, you will learn about organising a successful Community of Practice in an office environment.

A CoP is a group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. It is a core team that meets regularly to contribute ideas and to help each other. It is held together by the `learning value’ members find in their interactions and has a strong organisational support.
