  I found this article and I was intrigued because it is an article explaining COP's and the use of them in an organization. The concept has been around for centuries but is still new to the business world and has only recently been adopted by a few forward thinking companies.
  The article does ask why communities of practice are not as prevalent as they should be? There are three reasons for this; the term has just entered the business world, few companies have taken the opportunity to cultivate or installing communities of practice, and finally, it is not easy to sustain and cultivate communities of practice within an organization. Members volunteer or select themselves to form a COP.
