Sound Planning & Innovatoripa

Soundplanning a WEB 2.0 Community of Practice for effective management of programmes and projects under the European Social Fund 2007-2013 Lisbon, 11 december 08

The new ESF Programming Period strongly focuses on good governance and partnership. One of the key priorities includes building institutional capacity to design and deliver policies and programmes. This is why a European community of Practice on Sound Planning and Management has been set up
The EQUAL Managing Authorities of Italy, French-speaking Belgium and Poland have created a Community of Practice on Sound Planning and Management, in co-operation with the “Capacity Building” Group, a consolidated working group including also Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden
The project is granted by the European Commission DG Employement, Social Affair and Equal Opportunities.

Repository
The Sound Planning CoP, at the end of its activities, confirmed the J. Nelsen “participation inequality” theory: for the majority of CoP members a low degree of participation in creating contents, compared to a small group of internal users which animates the CoP. The majority of CoP users simply read and observe ( lurk ). No postings from 80% of users 20% of posts from 12% of users 80% of postings from 8% of users

Focused on interoperability and reusability
Built on an open source Content Management System (Drupal)
Mashup of partecipative WEB 2.0 tools
Open source and Open content oriented (interoperability, granularity and reuse of contents)
Based on Blogs (but Fora and sycronous tools are provided too)
Content Classification based on taxonomy (standard metadata) but also on Folksonomy (Tag Clouds, informal/social tagging) and social bookmarking (del.icio.us)

Social network vs community of practice ?
Social network
social structure made of nodes (generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency ‏
(wikipedia)
Community of practice
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
(e. wenger)
Loose ties
Individual identity
Personal visibility
Be reachable
Affirm knowledge
New relations
Small effort, short time
Functional needs: not strategic but it’s easy
Narcisism and competition
Strong ties
Group identity
Get in touch with your peers
Be authoritative
Share knowledge
Go deeper in relations
Strong effort, time consuming
Functional needs: it’s important for more activities
Membership and curiosity

Community life cycle and social networking Etienne Wenger

Credibility: traditional channels http://www.edelman.co.uk/ trustbarometer

Credibility: i believe in people like me http://www.edelman.co.uk/ trustbarometer Who is a person like me? “ Shares my interests ” and “holds similar political beliefs” continue to be the top two defining factors of “a person like me” in most countries, with a slight drop in the U.K., France, and Germany for “shares my interests” (67% to 61%). In China, the importance of sharing interests went up to 65% from 53%, but in Brazil it dropped to 65% from a survey-high of 79%. Being from the same local community dropped in importance over the past year, in some countries quite significantly: Ireland to 29% from 51%; Russia to 28% from 47%; Sweden to 9% from 27%; the U.K. to 18% from 44%; and the United States to 24% from 44%. Since last year’s survey, being in the same profession dropped in importance: China to 36% from 46%; India to 36% from 63%; Japan to 32% from 46%; Russia to 31% from 51%; South Korea to 27% from 46%; the U.K. to 31% from 46%; and the United States to 23% from 35%.

Rule of thumb: 1 – 9 - 90
in social media sites: 1% of users create, 9% comment and 90% are just lurkers
YouTube : 0,16% visitors partecipate in contents creation
Wikipedia : 4,6% users contribute to the free web encyclopedia
Flickr : 0,2% users publish their own photos.
But visits by web users to WEB2.0 sites account for 12% of all US web site visits !

6 degrees of separation small word theory
Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth…

150 social relations
Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restricted rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. (Wikipedia)
No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number, but a commonly approximation is 150 if you dedicate 42% of your time to human relations.
but the existing social networking sites enable people to go beyond Dunbar’s number….
