Discussion questions:
• Are we meeting your needs and expectations – both in terms of content and means?
• If you were the steering committee of IW LEARN, how would you design your own learning and knowledge management strategies?
• Imagine you are not bounded by financial or technical limitations: how would you envision these CoPs to operate?
