Communities of Practice for managers: supporting your team to thrive New
Description
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common passion, set of problems, or interest in a topic and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.
CoPs bring colleagues together in order to:
- Create support networks
- Learn and grow their skills
- Share knowledge and join up related work
- Share common approaches
- Collaborate and innovate, and create better practices for everyone.
Come along to this session to find out more about how CoPs are being established and embedded at Cambridge, and the ways in which they could help you and those who you manage. There will be the opportunity to share ideas and concerns you have about the CoPs initiative and learn more about this exciting new area of development in the University.
