- Host: Dan Hugo- Summary: Many individuals, groups, and even communities in the Greater Vegas Entrepreneurial Ecosystem share not only concerns and challenges, but skills and ideas, except that the sharing is done at a distance. Can a Community of Practice approach bridge the gaps?What is a Community of Practice?
- Proposed by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger circa 2015- “Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.”- A real community of practice includes intention and direction of some kind, and is almost certainly incompatible with the notion of Serendipitous Collision.- Is there benefit having multiple communities of practice? What about regular communities?- What if they are insular? Isolated?- A community of communities in our Entrepreneurial EcosystemAssurance Game and Community Erosion
