Looking at your Community ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What Fuels Participants Participation in a Community of Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],Provide opportunities to gain cutting-edge practices Competitive Members Feel  They Appreciate   Isolated  Introducing them to peers with similar issues and concerns  Uncertain  Validating what they are doing is right by comparing them to peers and experts  Under Valued Recognizing their strengths Passion about a topic  Finding a way for them to bring that into the community and connect with others that share that passion  Curiosity  Providing opportunities to learn more about a topic  Un-empowered Asking for their input, give them a voice in decision making  Controlled Letting the agenda be theirs  Want to work more efficiently  Providing practical tips and tools from peers so they don’t have to re-invent the wheel, introduce them to technology that can help  Stressed and burnt out  Nurturing them in little ways like doing the background work to set up the meetings  Stuck  Inspire them with examples of how others solved problems  Marginalized  Including their perspectives in the conversation
Design Options for your Community ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Adapted from:Patrick Lambe, 10/3/2007. Video clip on Starting Communities of Practice  http://blip.tv/file/497225__
