APQC's Knowledge Management Blog
Farida Hasanali is currently focusing on communities of practice. APQC's Knowledge Management Blog. She has talked so far about leadership and community activities. Borrowing a term from IMD professor and researcher Martha Mazinevski, events are a manifestation of a community's heart beat. Farida shares some views -- many of which align with my experience, but I continue to cringe at the assumption that starting F2F is the best way to go. I continue to observe that communities which are primarily distributed do more in the distributed environment if they start there, then get their first impressions validated at a F2F.
(Edited April 13, 2005 to fix my error assuming Farida was a he. She is a she. I should pay more attention!)

Nancy,
Thanks for mentioning my blog. Just wanted to clarify that I am a she:-))
With regards to your comment about f2f being the best way to start a CoP, I have to say that's the ideal way and given the resources we all would like to do it that way. However reality is everyone is global these days, so your approach is what gets used most often.
Farida, THANKS for catching my error. I have corrected it.
I think I waffle on starting CoPs in general these days -- "starting" being my waffle point. We can engineer and design so much, but the heart of a community has to emerge. We can only facilitate so much, eh? But ... I waffle!
