CONCLUSION
The SSCoP has developed a website, with a team discussion board for internal CoP collaboration, a general discussion board where questions can be submitted, fre- quently asked questions, and the “tip of the day,” Richardson said.

“Communities of Practice are true force multipliers for the global contracting com- munity to leverage and share resources across the Joint enterprise,” Detko said.
