What is a Community of Practice?
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people united by a shared passion, goal, or area of expertise.
By connecting and exchanging insights, teams not only build knowledge but actively drive business outcomes.
For executives, CoPs break down knowledge silos, reduce costly mistakes and create a fertile ground for continuous innovation. They also improve employee engagement, boost morale, and drastically reduce turnover by giving your people a sense of purpose and a feeling of belonging.
