Jenny Ambrozek: As creators we think WSE is essential, based on hearing the need from practitioners at The Sustainable Enterpise Fieldbook launch events and exchanges in the Sustainable Enterprise Network.

However, currently WSE is a grand vision, a serious aspiration and the seed of a network (as captured in the network map, slide 27, of this "Collective Intelligence" presentation). Our learning so far is about:

  • The practical realities of crowdsourcing, and the challenge of getting contributions and interest.
  • Network thinking and approaches to convene, and interconnect, the stakeholder networks we've identified as essential to WSE's success.
  • sustainability. (For more context see slides from ODNetwork NY presentation.

Community comparison framework

WSE today:

  • Content: What explicit knowledge objects such as documents or video clips are created or shared in this community?
  • Connections: What interpersonal contacts between community members (e.g., that facilitate relationship-building between community members) can you observe?
  • Conversation: what face-to-face or online conversations are going on?
  • Context: what context gives meaning to the content, connections and conversations in this community?
  • Purpose: what is the reason for which the members come together in this community?
