Why does CI need to have Standards, Best Practices and Frameworks?
Because the organization has tremendously grown in numbers of people and sites, the culture of informal exchange cannot sustain itself if only based on the sheer volume of informal interactions that would have to take place. Standards, best practices and frameworks allow for independence of individual projects, but yet provide consistency in CI’s approaches and information to the whole. Learning Networks can ensure that standards, best practices and frameworks are created or reviewed in a participatory manner while enhancing institutional awareness and use of these tools.
