Expertise where you need it.

What obstacles to building communities do you face?

• Converting interest in networking into online activity?
• Providing the right resource allocation to support its growth?
• Defining a clear business purpose and strategy for communities?
• Understanding what kind of plan, resource commitment and/or support structure is required?
• Encouraging members to become more active versus inactive “lurkers” online?
