Nothing is more frustrating than investing a lot of time and effort in your community, but not seeing the results you want.
This month, The Community Roundtable is pleased to kick off its spring class of Community Program Essentials, a course designed to help you better integrate communities into an organization – and help your community thrive. While our Community Management Fundamentals courses focus on how you manage within your community, Community Program Essentials focuses more on how you effectively integrate communities into the larger organization. Among the topics we’ll cover:
- Building Your Community Business Case
- Getting Executives Engaged
- Developing a Community Playbook
- Developing an Approach to Training
- Community Assessment and Benchmarking
