The Hidden ROI of Communities of Practice | Community ROI with Drew Pontikis
Description
“A community of practice is the glue that holds everything together in a business. It fills the gaps that organizational structures can’t, and that’s where people actually become more effective.”
In this episode, we discussed how communities of practice connect human collaboration with business growth, and the practical ways to align goals, measure impact, and keep people engaged, in particular:
👉 Why communities of practice act as the “glue” holding organizations together.
👉 How social learning creates shared ownership and fresh energy in communities.
👉 How to define and measure community ROI using immediate, potential, applied, and realized value.
