10 points to consider – point 5

Posted by Lilli Allihn under General, 16 Jul 2012


This is the fifth entry in our series: 10 points to consider when setting up Insight, Innovation & Strategy Communities.

One of the major benefits of a community is its immediacy. You can leave a meeting and ask a question of your community almost instantly. It becomes tempting to fire these questions at your community one after the other.
However, it’s important not to overload a community with a barrage of unrelated tactical questions. A community works best when a genuine narrative is established, with longer-term projects complemented by the odd tactical question. If all you do is use your community as a tactical Q&A tool, very soon you may have a graveyard on your hands.
