Evaluating communities of practice and social-professional networks: the development, design, testing, refinement, simulation and application of an evaluation framework

这项研究实现了多个国家的利益，包括解决国家研究优先事项3，促进和保持良好的健康。我们将比以前更清楚地了解导致或抑制社区和网络的行为和态度的类型，这意味着我们可以做一些事情来改善这些。以团队为基础的工作场所可以更有效率、社会满意度更高、职业回报更高。教育项目将从结果中受益，组织可以改善他们的工作方式和对待员工、客户和其他利益相关者的方式。我们可以将成果转移到其他行业、澳大利亚的贸易伙伴和国际社会。

Multiple national benefits are realized by this research, including addressing National Research Priority number 3, Promoting and maintaining good health. We will understand more clearly than previously the types of behaviours and attitudes that lead to or inhibit communities and networks, which means we can do something to improve these. Team based workplaces can be more productive, socially satisfying and professionally rewarding. Educational programs will benefit from the results and organisations can improve the way they work and treat staff, customers and other stakeholders. We can transfer the results to other industries, Australia's trading partners and the international community.
