The goal of this paper is to describe how networked improvement communities (NICs) create a social structure to catalyze the type of community that can solve complex problems. We draw from prior theorizing, the research literature on network and learning community development, and observations of developing NICs to articulate a framework for network development. The framework is intended to be an analytic tool for thinking and reasoning about NIC emergence and maturation.  \nSuggested citation: Russell, J.L., Bryk, A.S., Peurach, D., Sherer, D., Khachatryan, E., LeMahieu, P.G., Sherer, J.Z., & Hannan, M.
