Why and How to use Communities of Practice

Ana Neves gave a presentation on using communities of practice to improve knowledge sharing and communication within engineering teams. She discussed regularly meeting to discuss projects and issues, offering assistance without imposing it, considering making the group a formal community, assessing the impact on the business, and providing time and space both physical and digital for members. She also covered identifying interested people, making objectives clear, being available for members, communicating, and collecting members' stories.
