A6 #LTHEChat YES! the definition of a CoP (according to Wenger-Trayner^2) is a community to has a shared goal, has social interaction, and learns/develops together. It doesn't have to have an impact, it should be allowed to exist for the sake of its participants.

A6 #LTHEChat Making a difference. Being able to show that something was done better, or some people worked more effectively or were happier. Impact is in behaviour or attitude change, that has a broader positive effect

A4 #lthechat Knowing people's names is a big thing. Maybe sharing names and photos with new members so they can learn who is who

A5 #LTHEChat I think anything that enables the members of the community to feel a sense of achievement and progress is good. It makes people realise that it's a worthqhile exercise to be involved

A5 #LTHEChat Actually producing something tangible, instead of being a talking shop or something that focuses on process and procedures more than getting things done or sharing practices.

A5 #LTHEChat A consistent thread, but with subtle variation to bring novelty and keep people engaged and on their toes.

A4 #LTHEChat Representation is important. Ensuring that there is an inclusive range of people leading/managing the CoP

A4 #LTHEChat Often just being aware of the community is a barrier. We often build these spaces and communities, but the people who need them aren’t aware they’re there. Proactive communication is important

A4 #LTHEChat Being proactive about inviting people into the space and encouraging them to share. Inclusion, consultation, and collaboration isn’t just about opening a door, you have to invite someone inside, who might not feel at first that they belong there.

A1 #LTHEChat Fulfilling a need, but also open and respectful engagement. An open encouraging environment where all contributions are valued
