The Role of Online Communities
What is an online community?
An online community is a group of people with similar goals or interests that connect and exchange information using web tools.
. . .An online talent community is a group of people that share an affinity for an organization, profession or skill that connect , share opinions, exchange information, and collaborate using web tools.
Three distinguishing points
Connects Organization/Profession/Skillwith all Stakeholders Groups
Connects Members toOther Members
Connects Members toNon-Members (Discovery)
COMMUNITY
What’s not a talent community
Any centralized database of individuals (applicants, candidates, direct sourced
targets, etc.)
Role in the modern world
• Online communities are the new “meeting places” for digital citizens across the globe
• They form the backbone of the modern support system
• They are where content gets discovered
• They are where discussions happen whether you participate or not
• They are where perceptions are formed, vetted and cemented
What talent communities can enable:• True Employer Branding– Segment, share/listen, test alignment
• Broader Talent Ecosystem Engagement– See talent across all labor types
• Discover Talent Otherwise Overlooked– Added insight, pre-applicant assessment
• Cultivate / Grow Future Talent–Mentor, influence, educate/develop
• Leverage Brand Army
Getting StartedKey Action Steps, Success and Failure Factors
Key action steps – the basics
Define how and what you want members to do2
Understand your target member(s)1
Design a community that delivers value to all3
Set realistic expectations4
Plan for the internal change management needed to support talent communities and community mgmt
5
Be realistic about allocating resources6
Warning: Crass lesson coming
Nothing grows in a sandbox … especially one littered with crap!
Healthy communities are like gardens
• You have to seed them (content and interaction)
• You can’t put some plants together
• You need to fertilize infant plants
• You have to manage pests
• You have to eliminate rotten matter
• You need to split them when they grow to large
• Your results grow as your skills grow
• It takes time!
Success factors – beyond the basics
• Great Community Manager – Dedicated champion of transparency– Solicits/drives interaction– Doesn’t judge– Capable of engaging with different audiences– Promotes diversity of thought and inclusion
• Build in rewards for desired member activity• Connect to offline events• Build on member commonalities• REMEMBER: It’s not about YOU!
Failure factors
• Assuming all professions are created equal– If existing CoP’s cannot be found, you face
an uphill challenge
• Focusing solely on the technology• Not dedicating time/resources• Delivering little/no value• Locking down the target member too
tight• Not designing for interaction
