The stage of maturity of your learning/improvement network or community of practice impacts how much difference it can make.
@SFU Faculty of Science identifies three stages:
1) "Knowledge Weaving" prioritises the exchange of tacit knowledge within the network or community. Collaboration & connection enable valuable experiential knowledge to be exchanged.
2) "Collaborative Learning" is about taking that tacit knowledge further to support members to experiment & learn, generating new & emergent approaches which are further shared.
3) "Systems of influence" extend influence beyond the community or network by advocating & supporting systemic change in response to complex challenges.
Many networks/CoPs in health & care never get beyond stage one, when their potential is so much greater.
