Abstract

As community organizations seek to obtain federal and state based grants in order to provide community service programs, the diffusion of technological innovations have become very important considerations for research. Partnerships, collaboration and business transactions with the government using the e-government model require knowledge and communications tools and skills, time for the technology to diffuse or become accepted in the community and social systems that further support and set in motion the implementation of these innovative ideas and practices. Unfortunately many based community organizations may not possess these tools, skills, time or social systems that are needed to implement these new innovations. Who are today’s Innovation change agents and ICT champions?
