Centre for Social Innovation. The Rise of the Sharing Communities. Creative Commons photo by Lobkovs As the sharing economy picks up momentum, its reach has become global.
In cities and towns around the world, people are creating ways to share everything from baby clothes to boats, hardware to vacation homes. There are also groups emerging that consciously identify with the big-picture sharing movement. These groups focus on education, action and community-building, and advocate for a cultural shift toward widespread sharing. From neighborhood-level cooperatives to global organizations, these groups work to bring sharing into the mainstream. What follows is a far-from-exhaustive list of sharing advocacy groups around the world. Ouishare With hubs in Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Rome and Brussels, Ouishare is an international network of entrepreneurs, citizens, activists, journalists and designers working toward the development of the collaborative economy. “We need complex solutions to solve complex world issues,” he says.

Just got a tip through the comments that it's also online. This is the full reference to the article: Agterberg, M., Van den Hooff, B., Huysman, M., & Soekijad, M. (2010). Keeping the Wheels Turning: The Dynamics of Managing Networks of Practice. The authors make a distinction between NoPs and CoPs; networks of practice and communities of practice. CoP or NoP doesn't matter, there are important insights into the management interventions to support NoPs (or CoPs I'd say...).

Editors, Paul Hildreth and Chris Kimble Publisher, Idea Group Publishing Hard cover ISBN: 159140200X Soft cover ISBN: 1591402700 The current environment for organizations is one that is characterised by uncertainty and continuous change.
This rapid and dynamic pace of change is forcing organizations that were accustomed to structure and routine to become ones that must improvise solutions quickly and correctly. To respond to this changed environment organizations are moving away from the structures of the past that are based on hierarchies, discrete groups and teams and moving towards those based on more fluid and emergent organizational forms such as networks and communities. In addition to the pace of change, globalisation is another pressure that is brought to bear on modern organizations. In the mid 1990s, a new approach called Knowledge Management (KM) began to emerge (Ponzi and Koenig, 2002).

CoP: Best Practices. By Etienne Wenger [Published in the "Systems Thinker," June 1998] You are a claims processor working for a large insurance company.
You are good at what you do, but although you know where your paycheck comes from, the corporation mainly remains an abstraction for you. CoP: Best Practices. By Etienne Wenger [Published in the "Systems Thinker," June 1998] You are a claims processor working for a large insurance company.
You are good at what you do, but although you know where your paycheck comes from, the corporation mainly remains an abstraction for you. The group you actually work for is a relatively small community of people who share your working conditions. It is with this group that you learn the intricacies of your job, explore the meaning of your work, construct an image of the company, and develop a sense of yourself as a worker. You are an engineer working on two projects within your business unit. You are a CEO and, of course, you are responsible for the company as a whole.
We now recognize knowledge as a key source of competitive advantage in the business world, but we still have little understanding of how to create and leverage it in practice. Communautés de pratique : un partage des connaissances idéal. La compétitivité d'une enteprise dépend directement de la qualité des connaissances auxquelles ses employés ont accès : être mieux informé que la concurrence est un objectif majeur pour chaque firme.
Ce qui explique le succès des outils de partage des connaissances - ou KM. Pour Etienne Wenger cependant - l'un des gourous du collaboratif -, les managers ont une idée bien trop restrictive du partage des connaissances, qui se cantonne souvent à des bibliothèques statiques, des répertoires de documents écrits. Pourtant, "ce sont les savoirs dynamiques qui font la différence - explique posément E.Wenger dans une article de Systems Thinker. Ce qui requiert la participation de personnes totalement immergées dans le processus de création, raffinement, communication et utilisation des connaissances". Practices.
