Mark Schenk called my attention to a well-done video by Rio Tinto in a recent Anecdote blog entry. The video shows one lighthouse benefit of communities of practice. Rio Tinto is member of the SAP Industry Value Network for Mining.
I looked for other “communities of practice” videos just by curiosity: Dave Vance, former President of Caterpillar University, presents his view on communities of practice at Caterpillar. “KMInstitute” published “KM and Communities of Practices at IBM (January 2006)” with a lecture-like presentation by Richard Warrick one week ago. Well, no wonder, that I also came across this page with lecture-like videos with Etienne Wenger. Conclusion: Rio Tinto offered a very appealing video on communities of practice. Do you know of even better examples?
