No matter the sector, a vibrant community not only serves as a defensive hedge against the competition but can also drive learning, innovation, and value.
And whether it's bringing together a group of power users, software contributors, content developers, or a gaggle of superfans, we're seeing thriving communities lead to greater brand awareness and higher switching, not to mention strong debuts in public markets.

The term can mean a lot of things: A support group, a networking forum, an open-source project, and even a tribe of rugby fans could all be considered a community. It can also be the amount of member motivation a product or service generates.

The reality is that at some point, all companies have a community around them -- whether they choose to engage with it or not. Robinhood, which went public in July, is a lesson in what can happen if you don't. When you make no home for users to meet and seek support from official channels, they'll find their own.

This kind of framework can help companies consider why it's creating a community, who is in the community, and its value to and between members.
Only then can you create a plan around conversing with, listening to, and engaging with current customers, potential customers, and those exploring something new.

Communities are complex systems, which means understanding the relationship between input and feedback can be difficult or not show up for a long time. The act of discussing and debating these questions will bring more clarity and alignment about the purpose and impact of the strategy and should engage teams about how to create value in many forms.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
