The Exchange also provides resources like communities of practice, online conferences, and a library. It aims to facilitate sharing challenges, solutions, and lessons learned. The blueprint is to create a culture of collaboration using an easy-to-use technological platform and benchmarking tool to capture content and enable efficiency improvements.
