Accelerator objectives
Define (or re-define) your community’s purpose
Learn how to establish a vision & purpose that you & your community members can get behind. By defining and understanding why your community exists, you’ll know how to talk about it in front of prospective members and senior leaders.
Design engaging & thoughtful member experiences
Those of us that have experienced the trials and tribulations of an unengaged community know that deep connections don’t happen overnight. Worthwhile experiences must be intentionally designed and actively managed.
Use data to align your community with your business
You may not be able to rely on traditional metrics to speak to your community's success. We’ll help you identify which metrics matter the most, and how to build a narrative that clearly aligns with your organization’s goals.
Create a strategic action plan for your community
We know you have to wear a lot of hats. Build on your current strengths as you learn to leverage modern tools, manage stakeholders & sponsors, communicate & collaborate at any scale, and grow your community’s influence in your organization.
