HCS, the national CET centre for HR WSQ competency-based training, has received support from WDA to create 12 Communities of Practice (CoPs) across 6 industries in the Human Resources profession to pilot CoP concepts for our professional fraternities. HCS has begun the process of inviting facilitators to support this exciting project and the first CoPs will begin in April.

The evidence is clear that CoP can be an effective approach to learning, especially when it comes to practical knowledge about getting the job done. The pilot project adapts general CoP ideas to work in the professional context in Singapore to develop an additional approach to professional learning and knowledge development. 

Although many renowned businesses have adopted and benefitted from CoP thinking and methods, finding the right approach in the Singapore context has not been easy and will require considerable time and effort. However, at HCS we believe the rewards will easily justify the investment for everyone involved, as well as position our companies and talents to better compete in the 21st century. 

The pilot CoPs will focus on the practice of Human Capital stewardship in Singapore and those who participate, will find themselves immersed in a stew of people and ideas at the cutting edge of the profession. A process design is nearing completion and facilitators will participate in defining its final form.

One of the most interesting aspects of the pilot is the creation of a Community of Practice made up of Community of Practice facilitators. These people will define and refine the practice of CoP facilitation in Singapore.
