5 Key Lessons
• Build moral capital to drive moral purpose• Understand the nature of the knowledge so that it can
be transferred effectively• Build a network around parallel rather than individual
catalysts • Allow the hub to grow organically• Ensure that users accept that they have to give more
to get more back
The quality of the people define the effectiveness of the hub
