Time-Intensive

Promising

Cool

If you decide to move forward…

  Determine institutional goals and objectives re: community

  Connect goals and objectives to institutional mission

  Establish benchmarks for success (based on goals/objectives)

  Create evaluation plan to measure success

  Define timeline and budget

  Create project team

  Research and hire outside vendors as necessary

  Determine programming (content area, experience types, etc.)

  Select tools per goals and objectives, constraints, and programming

  Roll out pilot; evaluate; remediate as necessary

  Scale as appropriate

Start small. Start Tomorrow.

  Visit Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

  Sign up for Twitter and Facebook accounts. Get at least one “follower” (Twitter), follow at least one person (Twitter), and request a friend (Facebook).

  Post an update on Twitter and Facebook.

  Search for something of interest to you in YouTube and watch a video. Or two. Or three.

  Visit the sites of your favorite companies, nonprofits, universities, and government agencies (or politicians) and see what community tools they are using, and in what way(s).

  Start a conversation about community and community 2.0 with colleagues at work.

  Start contributing to the national/international conversation!
