What have we found?
-
Networks of practice bring together a variety of people to share knowledge and learning that will help the research get into practice.
-
They cross organisational, professional, occupational and geographical boundaries; they transcend the ‘silos’ that frequently prevent knowledge sharing.
-
Network members share their ‘domain’ knowledge, exchanging know-how, to harness collective knowledge and action, leading to improvement outcomes.
