5 Ahas on Communities of Practice from Mike Hower, Michael Prevou, and Mitchell Levy

The Blog Mitchell Levy

This week’s five Ahas are from the AhaBook™, Mike Hower, Michael Prevou, and Mitchell Levy on Communities of Practice. In their last several years of work in this path-breaking area, we have repeatedly been asked how to get a community defined, how to measure its value and how to keep a valuable community successful. This AhaBook is a direct result of such questioning; indeed the AhaMessages found inside this social media enabled eBook, demonstrates how communities of practice are the killer app of knowledge management.AAEAAQAAAAAAAAcTAAAAJDcwNWJiNWZjLWMyNGMtNDRkMi04NTBjLWFmNWRkMzRiY2EyZg

This is a practical and implementable volume that provides vital tips for knowledge leaders, managers and facilitators who support these communities in such a way that they make a positive contribution to creating and sharing organizational knowledge – a contribution that engages people and leads to a competitive advantage in today’s business environment.

  4. To improve community adoption, start by communicating individual value. Organizational value will come later. @howermj #tll [click to tweet]
