Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit Las Vegas 2024

Starting an internal community of practice (CoP) can be difficult, growing and sustaining it can be even more so. A CoP is a group of people who share a common interest in a particular topic or area of work and come together to learn from each other, share ideas, and solve problems. As one industry example, we have been running our Lean-Agile CoP for 16 years, conducting 381 sessions, and grown to over 12,000 members.

We will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with creating and maintaining a CoP within a company with 90,000+ employees. We will highlight the key factors that contributed to the success of our CoP, such as effective leadership, clear goals and objectives, and a supportive organizational culture.

We will also share the success patterns that we have implemented over the years to support the growth and sustainability of our CoP. These include regular communication and engagement with members, structured learning and development opportunities, recognition and rewards for participation and contribution, and collecting multiple measurements that are used to improve.

Please join us and learn how our Lean-Agile CoP has been the longest running CoP across our company.
