Communities of Practice

Communities of Practice (CoP) are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared area of professional endeavour: a group of project practitioners from separate operations within an organisation. These communities of practice enable those people who share a passion for project management to learn how to do it better as they interact through regularly forums.

HAIN Consulting can facilitate the implementation and continued management of a Project Management CoP within your organisation. CoP forums focus on short presentations by participants on recent project management improvements and discussion of current challenges. They share recent methods, address current issues, increase motivation and focus or refresh participants on the need for continual improvements and implementation of the latest techniques.
