Bridging the gap between research and practice of communities

My colleagues are organising a workshop “Bridging the gap between research and practice of Communities of Practice” during C&T Conference (19 September, Amsterdam). The plan is to bring together presentations of a researcher and a practitioner for each topic, so there are opportunities to contrast their approaches and discuss them. The topics are:

• Communities in a R&D environment
• Communities of commercial employees (btw on this topic – Knowledge management for front-line staff by James Robertson)
• Communities and learning

These are some of the challenges around communities in corporate KM context and the last one is about one of my KM&learning interest. Hope to be there, but not 100% sure yet.
