About the session

Theme: Communities

With communities of practice still a side-of-desk activity in many organisations, the opportunity they provide to maximise significant value across HR, L&D, knowledge transfer, networking, culture and communications ambitions is often overlooked.

This enlightening and engaging discussion will illustrate how to supercharge transformation simply by moving communities of practice to the front and centre of your strategic change approach.

This session will take you on an exploration of what communities of practice are, the science behind how they can leverage deeper value in and across teams even at portfolio level, and how to build a winning communities of practice approach into your change strategy to enhance return on investment - regardless of programme maturity, specialism, or role.

Participant takeaways:

  • The three pillars of effective CoPs - explore the core construct of successful communities of practice
  • Creating cohesion - discover how communities of practice sit seamlessly at the intersection of HR, communications, L&D and transformation ambitions
  • The neuroscience of belonging - understand the psychological drivers that make CoPs a vital component of culture, engagement and performance
  • Strategic implementation and measurement - learn some actionable steps to design, launch, sustain and measure the success of CoPs as part of strategic change and reporting
