I will be running a tutorial session at the Public Sector Online 2008 event on 28th October at Inmarsat, London.

My session will cover the development of Communities of Practice in the UK local government sector and how Web 2.0 tools and techniques are supporting greater collaboration and knowledge sharing across and within local councils. The session will provide an in-depth account of:

• How a knowledge and learning culture was successfully developed using Communities of Practice
• How virtual Communities of Practice are delivering innovation and improvement to local government services
• How to create, develop and grow trusted communities of practice in the public sector
• How social media tools (wikis, blogs etc.) and Web 2.0 technologies can facilitate more effective networking and collaboration across the public sector.

We will also be having a practical demonstration of the IDeA Communiy of Practice platform.
