It takes time to catch up with all the news, posts and blogs when you haven't been all that following the feeds. Today I even discovered that APQC has a blog that is doing a series on communities of practice. The KM blog of Bill Ives pointed me to that one.
Farida Hasanali talks about various aspects of the community world, including leadership, roles of members and facilitators but she never really gets into deep with any of the subjects, keeping the postings accessible but uninteresting for the audience that APQC tends to serve. If you are not familiar with communities it may well be interesting, for the presentations (check out Wednesday 11th) she is giving away on the blog, but she never challenges her own thoughts on communities (well, I have to be honest here, she steps away from the CoP for a minute and asks us "what more should we be doing to make KM effective.?")
Something that would turn most of the APQC audience interested in communities on, would be without any doubt a blog on the work they do in the benchmarking arena for communities of practice. Perhaps an idea for later - Farida has just started with the blog since the beginning of last month.
