Personalised solutions for personal needs
Communities of practice provide tailor-made solutions to our needs. Watch Rustom Mody explain more.
So learning from professional networks is particularly interesting because it gives us the opportunity to have tailor-made knowledge. We can ask a specific question about our context, about our own challenges, and somebody else with similar experience or ideas about this, can give us specific answers to our questions. We could also of course do some research into a book. But that is also very interesting, but it is not specifically addressing our own question. So I think for me, that is the most interesting thing. It is knowledge and advice which is adapted to our needs.
