Communities of Innovation is a framework for understanding the nature and characteristics of communities or organizations focused on producing innovative activity. The framework is not only descriptive, but leads to prescriptive recommendations for designing and supporting these types of communities in both education and business. Following are some papers and presentations presenting my ideas about collaborative innovation within these types of settings.<\/p>\n
