Online Community Software and Customer Forum Software by Vanilla Forums

While organizations have been using communities for many years, it is only in the last few that executives have started to see the value that community can offer. But now, in 2021, many executives have finally started to view community structures as a new governance model for the entire organization rather than a stand-alone initiative.

Moreover, many executives have come to realize that the benefits of an online community align with their top business priorities. This includes priorities centered around talent acquisition, retention and customer relations – not to mention customer experience.

What has led executives to this conclusion in 2021, and how can they ensure that their community endeavours are successful?

Led by Carrie Melissa Jones, Erica Kuhl and Holly Firestone, this session will unpack the number two community trend from our Predictions 2021 ebook: increased executive interest in community.

This session explores:

Why executives are finally taking note of community, and how the pandemic has contributed to this revelation
The many benefits that online communities can bring to an organization, both internal and external
How to ensure that any new or existing communities see success in 2021
