Experiment & Get Tool Mix Right Adapted from: Christian Renaud, Technology Intelligence Group
THE TOOLS ARE OUT THERE WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? WHAT IS YOUR INVESTMENT? WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE? http://www.flickr.com/photos/stabilo-boss/93136022/
CREATE CONTENT THAT IS REMARKABLE If the web is a mass of conversations, then get talked about Create content and services that are worth passing on Make it as easy as possible for your fans to find it and spread the word http://www.flickr.com/photos/oldflints/
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU MEASURE It’s not all about page impressions Broader use of hard metrics – users, time spent, interactions, pass-alongs …combined with digital ethnographic measures http://neilperkin.typepad.com/only_dead_fish/2008/04/blended-measure.html

WHAT WE LEARNED Committed and driven volunteers contributed hundreds of hours of their time Early adopters can get results … but needs to be based on relationships that are long term What if 25 additional charities try this strategy?

Innovate Connect Collaborate Engage On real time issues and solutions regardless of geographic location Address day-to-day issues and build relationships the right people, issues, and solutions at the right time Leverage practices to scale solutions
Reputation – the entire community of members are practitioners and subject matter experts, rather than a primary contributor and a passive audience of consumers. This is also the first ongoing mechanism for these experts to confer, as they’re geographically isolated and have minimal opportunities for collaboration. Purpose – these are members inherently vested in their mission. Their mission’s outcome can be dramatically amplified by collaborating with fellow experts in the field – something that they largely cannot do today within their own organization, let alone across like-minded organizations and other communities.
