This extended Q network session highlighted how to recognise, capture and demonstrate the impact of your networks and / or Communities of Practice.
We explored how social learning in networks makes a difference in a range of settings across health and social care, other industries, and globally.
It also was a chance to try out five-cycle elements of the Wenger-Trayner / DeLaat Value Creation Framework, for finding and sharing the richness of value created by networks and communities, from the perspective of participants.
The five-cycle method enables convenors to tap into the immediate, potential, applied, realised and transformative value of communities.
This session was facilitated by:
- Cleo Butterworth, Associate Clinical Director of Patient Safety at the Health Innovation Network (HIN)
- Sam Hudson, Director of Überology.
