At the KIN CMAD event in January we asked participants for their top tips for community leaders. Here's a small selection of ideas that address the issue of 'What to consider and plan for before you start a community':
· Ensure there is a demand for the community · Create a demand for the community · Have co-facilitators and champions · Spend time getting the charter/purpose right and agreed by the core group (1-2 sentences) · Appoint appropriate community champions as facilitators · Get a good online toolkit, stuffed full of guides, templates ready and accessible as early as possible · Agree file plan/file structure prior to launch · Agree the community rules (TOR) before the launch of the community · Staged launch – do not open to all users too soon · Offer online training · Self-help group – CoP for CoPs · 1:1 community leaders training sessions (two hours) |
The Innovation Network (KIN) is a members only community, however this blog reflects musings and interests of the KIN Facilitators and members that may be of interest to the wider world.
