  1. COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE COP “People are best engaged when they are actively involved in an activity.” Etienne Wenger

  2. DEFINITION • Communities of Practice (CoP) as “groups of people who share a common concern or passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” A group of people who share a common concern, a set of problems, or interest in a topic and who Come together to fulfill both individual and group goals.

WHAT IS COP? • A community of practice defines itself along three dimensions: • What it is about – its joint enterprise as understood and continually renegotiated by its members • How it functions- mutual engagement that bind members together into a social entity • What capability it has produced – the shared repertoire of communal resources that members have developed over time.
