This document discusses the importance of communities of practice for ministerial leaders. It defines a community of practice as a group that shares a domain of knowledge and enhances their expertise through ongoing interaction. Ministerial leaders are obligated by the Church to ongoing formation and learning. Communities of practice foster learning by providing a domain, community, and shared practices. The workshop encourages participants to identify communities of practice they participate in and how to find or enhance one to support their ongoing development.

People Powered Brands: Empowering a Tribe of Internal Advocates
"Why does your brand exist? What is your purpose for being in business? Does every employee know what your company is working towards?
Here’s a hint: your brand isn’t a product or a line item on a spreadsheet. It’s the stories people tell about it.
And, believe it or not, your best storytellers are your employees. Not just your C-Suite staff, but also the people on the ground representing your brand day-in and day-out.
A basic explanation for communities of practice, and some ideas for designing digital environments to help them thrive. Based on portions of presentations I have given over the last 4-5 years.

Communities of practice have become an accepted part of organizational development. One should pay attention to domain, membership, norms and rules, structure and process, flow of energy, results, resources, and values.

Cultures in organizations that are good places to work develop environments in which people work together in support of the mission and vision.

Kommunikations-APIs von JavaScript (International PHP Conference/WebTechCon 2...Christian Wenz
Kommunikation mit JavaScript war lange Zeit sehr überschaubar: HTTP-Anfragen waren dank Ajax möglich, aber auch nur an den Ursprungsserver und mit weiteren Einschränkungen. Dies hat sich mittlerweile geändert: JavaScript-Code kann jetzt auch mit fremden Browsertabs und Servern reden, sofern diese mögen; ebenfalls ist eine bidirektionale Kommunikation anstelle des altbackenen Pull-Modells möglich. Auch Zugriff auf Kamera und Mikrofon sind (nach Nutzerbestätigung) möglich. Diese Session zeigt zahlreiche bekannte und weniger bekannte Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten mit JavaScript und HTML5 auf und beleuchtet Vor- und Nachteile aus dem Projektalltag.

Mindful Learning for a Changing World - PresentationCIEE
As we approach 2020, mindfulness programs are becoming increasingly prevalent—from major corporations to the military to education—and research heralds their impact. Educators are recognizing the value of both practicing and teaching mindfulness to enhance their own and others’ intercultural competence.
In this interactive session, we will discuss what mindfulness is, how it relates to intercultural learning and study away, and how practicing mindfulness can benefit you and your students. You will participate in and learn about several activities that you can use to start or further your own and your students’ mindfulness practice.

plays
in
your
ministerial
productivity
and

28. What
is
a
community
of
practice
(CoP)?
“…are
groups
of
people
who
share
a
concern,
a
set
of
problems,
or
a
passion
about
a
topic,
and
who
deepen
their
knowledge
and
expertise
in
this
area
by
interacting
on
an
ongoing
basis.”
(Cultivating
Communities
of
Practice

Etienne
Wenger,

29. One
of
my
Communities
of
Ministerial
Practice
(CoMP)
30. A
CoP
is
a
unique
combination
of
3
fundamental
elements:
a
domain
of
knowledge
which
de@ines
a
set
of
issues;
a
community
of
people
who
care
about
the
domain,
and
the
shared
practice
that
they
are
developing
to
be
effective
in
the
domain.
31.
Communities
of
Practice
Take
Many
Forms
Ê Small
or
Big
Ê Long-‐lived
or
Short-‐lived
Ê Co-‐located
or
Distributed
Ê Homogeneous
or
Heterogeneous
Ê Spontaneous
or
Intentional
Ê Unrecognized
or
Institutionalized
Ê Formal/highly
structured
or
Informal/loosely
structured
33. What
do
all
Communities
of
Ministerial
Practice
(CoMP)
need
to
be
successful?
Ê DOMAIN:
A
well-‐defined
domain
provides
common
ground
and
identity.
It
affirms
the
purpose
and
value
to
members.
Ê COMMUNITY:
The
community
creates
the
social
fabric
of
learning.
A
strong
community
is
based
upon
trust
and
fosters
participation.
Ê PRACTICE:
The
practices
includes
a
set
of
frameworks,
ideas,
tools,
language,
and
information,
that
members
share.
The
domain
denotes
the
focus
topic
or
issue
of
the
CoP,
while
the
practice
includes
the
specific
knowledge
the
community
develops,
shares,
and
maintains.
34. Why
are
we
talking
about
this
at
a
gathering
of
ministerial
leaders?
37. A
Response
to
the
Church’s
Mandate
“Both
temporary
and
permanent
ministers
are
obligated
to
acquire
appropriate
formation
which
is
required
to
fulfill
their
function
properly
and
to
carry
it
out
conscientiously,
zealously,
and
diligently”
(Canon
#231).

Church
as
a
Learning
Organization
From
Peter
Senge,
The

learning
gets
to
the
heart
of
what
it
means
to
be
human,
because
through
learning
we
re-‐create
ourselves
and
the
world
around
us.

Principles
for

is

54. Concluding
Prayer
(by
Joseph
Cardinal
Bernardin)
O
Lord
of
the
harvest,
work
out
your
will
in
us,
that
we
might
prepare
others
to
be
laborers
for
your
harvest.
Transform
us
ever
more
completely
into
the
image
of
your
Son,
that
we
might
call
others
to
ministry
as
he
called,
teach
them
as
he
taught,
and
form
them
as
he
did.
We
make
this
prayer
in
your
most
holy
name.
Amen.
