Reflection: “Three Elements You Need for Successful Creation Spaces”

Article: “Three Elements You Need for Successful Creation Spaces”
Source: Harvard Business Publishing

This article follows explains the three elements that will increase the value of the shared knowledge as discussed in “Reflection: “Introducing the Collaboration Curve” .

The three elements to succesfully achieve the incremental value, are:
* Participants
* Interactions
* Environments

It describes perfectly the three elements that are the core and intrinsic value of the spaces they describe.
As I also defined in my previous post Pre-conditions and succeeders for a healthy community it are the people and more importantly the actions between the people/nodes that create a valuable and autonomous community.

The Harvard article also points out to the first threshold, acquiring the critical mass to sustain the community.
Not sure if I agree that people advance past the “lurker” stage, I do think that there must be a healthy distribution between creators, lurkers, critics etc, (View a presentation of the Social Technographics at the Forrester site).

Would the majority advance from one type of Social Technographics to another?
