Have you considered establishing a community of practice?

Andrew recently wrote an excellent article entitled, “Establishing a Community of Practice in 7 Easy Steps”, and he is here with us today to tell us all about it.
The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, “Balance Theory with Practicality." When it comes to setting up and managing a project office, there is a lot of theory out there, but how much of that theory is practical? Whether it is a tool, a technique, a methodology, a process, a policy, or a metric, a theory that is not balanced with practicality is of little value to most PMOs.
The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about where in the organization should a PMO reside.
