Community of Practice

Problem:

Various working groups around a company or organization face common problems and have common experiences. However, these groups are spread across geographic regions or business units.

Solution:

Traction project spaces provide an ideal platform for sharing experiences, lessons learned, and information related to a certain subject of interest.

Representatives from various groups can share a space to share experience, knowledge, and expertise. Traction makes it possible to link and organize these learnings, laying the groundwork to promote, comment on, and leverage best practices as well as identify and interact directly with experts. In a wider Traction deployment, a program team might flag relevant content from their own workspace to the Community of Practice workspace, as such, feeding the best practices project does not require additional work or focused effort.

See the IJIS case study for a great example of an organization with 16 committees.
