Page 11: Once Upon a Time in Africa

The first time they met –they really hit it off!

Page 12: Once Upon a Time in Africa

The second time they met they shared a lot and were really engaged

Some were married with five wives…..

Page 14: Once Upon a Time in Africa

…while others had only one husband

In between being busy – they forgot about their home……

There was lots of talk about their virtual home

Have you

But they weren’t sure if their virtual home suited them

It looked bigger in

Now they knew how to furnish their home

Page 23: Once Upon a Time in Africa

But everyone had to chip in

So the questions they asked themselves were….

Page 27: Once Upon a Time in Africa

What could THEY do?

Page 28: Once Upon a Time in Africa

…to transform this home into a vibrant virtual community of

practice?
