Sustaining a Community of Practice (CoP)

Communities are not born in their final state, but go through a natural cycle of birth, growth and death. Many go through such radical transformation that the reasons that they stayed together has little relation to the reasons they started in the first place. In this course, participants will better understand how communities of practices evolved over time and what it takes to sustain them so that they provide continual value to its members and organisations. Participants will complete a guided assignment to apply their learning and give feedback to a peer on their assignment as part of the course.
