I’ve written a great deal about the theories around education innovation ecosystems, including exploring who the major players are in the ecosystem, but how does one actually go about building an innovation ecosystem?

Here I’ve tried to use our work in Philadelphia as an example of how one goes about engaging with and building an ecosystem.
