Abstract
Methods and systems for collaborating communities of practice are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for collaborating communities of practice in a community of practice environment. Each community of practice includes a goal. The method may include searching information associated with each of the communities of practice for related information and identifying a set of communities of practice having related information. Further, the method may include determining whether any of the communities of practice in the set are related and establishing a collaborative communication session between the related communities of practice such that the related communities of practice share resources in achieving their respective goals.
