Description
An informal community space around a set of collaborations. Complements ecosystem analytics (which helps people find each other) by providing a home for an established community. Potential contributors can ask questions, see relevant events, easily join initiatives, get to know the community, and see the network. Innovation center leads can share collaborations, best practices, facilitate match-making, show the network, and enable cross-learning. Collaborations can be part of multiple communities — no hierarchy. Most valuable once collaborations are formed and the community around them is growing.
