• CoP Series #4: Practice Makes Perfect
  
  This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I wrote for Darren Sidnick . The is the fourth post exploring more about Community, Domain and Practice aspects of CoPs mentioned in the first post of this series on communities of practice (CoPs). This is the “where the rubber meets the road” leg of the stool, Practice . I posted three last fall, then sort of forgot about the rest of the series.

• CoP Series #5: Is my community a community of practice?
  
  This is the fifth in a series of blog posts I wrote for  Darren Sidnick . In our first post on Communities of Practice (CoPs) we disabused ourselves of the confusion between a community and the platform that allows a community to interact together online. They can be useful tools for communities of practice, but they aren’t the same thing. I am finally getting the rest of the series up.

• Blogging practices of knowledge workers
  
  She writes about knowledge management and personal knowledge management and blogging, some of my favorite topics. As she has been chronicling on her blog , she is near the end of writing this PhD. She asked me to have a look at the chapter that summarizes the blogging practices of knowledge workers, particularly looking at the questions she had about these practices going into her research. I had the great pleasure of previewing one of Lilia Efimova's papers - maybe her PhD proposal - about five years ago. And now I get the chance to do it again.

• Blogging Mandatory Or Voluntary?
  
  Or perhaps rephrase the question: When should blogging be mandatory and when should it be voluntary? Some organizations might integrate blogs within formal work practices and business processes so there may be situations when in fact, blogging is required. For instance, perhaps a company decides that competitive intelligence analysts should blog their personal insights about what they are seeing in the market (yes, it could be a wiki as well). Or suppose Utilization Management nurses are provided with a blog application as the preferred method of capturing notes while they interact with various health network providers.

• How relevant are communities of practice in a network age?
  
  A while back I blogged about the possibility of networks and blogospheres cutting into the need for communities. Sometimes we need a place of shared interest to build a communal practice, sometimes we need people to be committed members of a space to coordinate activities, some people like being part of a group, rather than on their own space, or both. Stowe Boyd has more on this “ shift ” that may be a big cognitive reason that when it comes to I believe this is happening a great deal, as now people may have a more purposeful or ideal way of achieving their needs

• Blogging as Reflective Practice
  
  know everyone does not understand the big deal about blogging. I’ve even heard it said that if people have time to write a blog, they obviously have too much time on their hands. Well, since my blog is all about corporate education, I want to talk about how blogging is actually an educational tool. Blogging can be I’ve been mulling this post over for a few days now. But after reading some of Harold Jarche’s posts, I have decided now is not the time to be scared to speak up.

• Emergent practices need practice
  
  Learning as we probe the problem, we gain insight and our practices are emergent (emerging from our interaction with the changing environment and the problem). Training looks backwards, at what worked in the past (good & best practices), and creates a controlled environment to develop knowledge and skills. To deal with increasing complexity, organizations need to support emergent work practices, in addition I think that one of the larger problems of our time, is that we we don’t even know how to think about many of today’s problems. We think that our

• Share Best Practices - Patterns
  
  Interesting post by Jane Bozarth - The Myth of "Best Practices" . A "best practice" is best only in the precise, specific context in which it exists. … What works in my marriage won't necessarily work in -- and may even damage -- yours. Even if moved from one situation to another very close one, the odds of transfer being made with practice intact is nil. How do we address those who pressure us to produce a list of, or abide by, "best" practices? The comments are also interesting but focus primarily on the word "best" vs. "leading"

• Communities of Practice
  
  I’m reviewing my resources on communities of practice and synthesizing some of the articles I’ve come across and added to my social bookmarks or blogged about on my Communities Thread . One of the best sources of practical knowledge on online community building is Anecdote from Australia. Peter Bond’s article, which I referred to in 2005 In Building a Collaborative Workplace , they discuss three types of collaboration - Team, Community and Network . As they say, “ Our purpose is to provide an understanding of the type of culture required
