Communities of Practice and Social Learning
Most internal communities die within three months — for three specific reasons.
What you'll get: Fifteen posts in week one, two in week four, nobody by month three. The cause is almost always one of three things, and all three can be tested before you start. This 100-minute course goes straight at them: the three preconditions, a 90-day path with a warning about the quiet weeks 5–8, a 60-minute session structure with the clarify-before-proposing rule, a four-part one-page note, and the three signs a community is ready to grow.
Who is this course for?
- L&D leads building social learning
- Anyone asked to facilitate an internal community

After this course, you will
- Test the three preconditions before launching a community
