About this event

"I've been working on a hypothesis. A hypothesis about why communities suddenly change as they scale and leave Community builders confounded. What happened? How could we have predicted this? I think I've identified 6 broad burdens that growth causes on Community. So, together we'll apply social science to each one, identify these pitfalls, and workshop some ways of getting past them—All part of the Social Scientific process!" - Samantha Venia Logan 

After the Masterclass, participants will be able to apply real-life social science to these 6 Burdens of Community Growth:

  1. Contribution
  2. Attribution
  3. Distribution
  4. Allocation
  5. Stratification
  6. Remuneration

Key Takeaways of this Masterclass include:

  • Know how to discuss these issues with key stakeholders in your brand so they immediately get what's happening and can pivot to solve it

  • Give voice and a word to the common struggles of communities at scale within open-source, brands, nonprofits, and stadium communities
