Outcomes like teaching the entrepreneurial mindset, optimizing productive collisions and advancing projects to success or failure require a comprehensive understanding of the community members’ motivation, background, preferences and journey.
These are the 3 important steps to planning or growing a creator community.
Understanding the WHY
Understanding the goals and vision for your university’s Creator Community is a critical first step. Having a core purpose, vision and target metrics you want to measure and see impacted provides a foundation for your project.
Understanding the WHO
Providing an impactful community member experience requires a deep and empathetic understanding of who your residents will be and intentionality in marketing and recruiting. Emphasizing intellectual diversity is key to productive collisions. Consider who will be a part of this community and who are all of the stakeholders and the ecosystem partners that will support and care for this community.

Modeling different approaches to how the project can be delivered provides clarity in execution.
