Community: The New Normal
Now in its 13th year, our annual State of Community Management report provides strategic ideas and tactical benchmarks for global community management professionals.
The State of Community Management 2022 explores the state of the community management industry through the lens of the eight competencies in the Community Maturity Model.
Each section includes data, ideas, and expert practitioner perspectives to give you new insight into the community management industry.
The 2022 report explores trends in community management, including these findings:
Community approaches are the new normal.
Grounded in the work done by community practitioners over the last 15-20 years and bolstered by the momentum gained since the pandemic emerged in 2020, community programs have shown the world that they are the most effective way to connect and collaborate globally.
Executives overwhelmingly support community-led initiatives.
As community teams become operational business units they track and report back to their organizations in ways that executives understand and care about. These efforts result in recognition and resources, creating a flywheel for continued success.
Communities contribute to organizational success.
No longer limited to pet projects or line-of-business efforts, community teams are building Centers of Excellence to share and spread community approaches throughout their organization’s ecosystem.
