University’s Communities of Practice (link)

Collaborative Communities in general expand staff and Stanford's capabilities. Communities of Practice (CoP) work when they are attended by professionals that share a particular job function. When people that do the same work in different environments get together, share what works, and share discrete practices, it can be a very rewarding experience. CoPs are learning communities.

Any staff member can start a Community of Practice.

Each CoP determines own meeting frequency.
