Anamaria is talking to Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner, two internationally renowned social learning theorists and consultants. 

Their pioneering writing and consulting around Communities of Practice and Social Learning Spaces is influential in diverse fields, including learning theory, business, government, healthcare, and education.

They founded the Social Learning Lab to host events on theory, practice, and leadership, which is where I met both of them this year, as I attended a three-day learning immersion into communities and social learning. You can find more details about their work on their website: https://www.wenger-trayner.com/

In this conversation, we explore the differences between communities of practice, and social learning spaces, we go over their step-by-step approach to launching new communities within organizations, and close with their values creation model for communities, and how to measure the impact such spaces have thought story collection.
