Definitions. Lim and Ong (2019) defined a community of innovation (CoI) as a group of people with a sense of camaraderie, belonging and a collective identity who are jointly facilitating innovation. CoIs are groups made up of motivated individuals working together towards a common goal because they are convinced of their common cause.
