This paper discusses Communities of Practice as the Organizational Frontier. This paper explores how CoPs help drive strategy, start new lines of business, solve issues fast, produce professional qualities, best practices, and to assist in bringing and retaining employees. Community of Practice is also evaluated in a snapshot chart analyzing the DNA of formal work group, project team, and informal network together. Four questions are posed to contrast these four elements: what the purpose is? Who belongs? What holds it together? And how long does it last? Overall, this paper was highly informative and full of nice visuals. I also loved the contrasting elements, it heped put the whole picture into perspective.
