• How open is your culture?• Where do conversations naturally take

place today?• What barriers can you simply not cross?• How thick or thin is your “corporate

membrane”?

“Who owns community?” is really three questions

Who will pay for the efforts?Who benefits the most?

Who is best able to run the project?Who is closest to the audience?

Who can inspire and lead?Who can clear the roadblocks?

#2: Start small

Experiment

Listen first

Your goals determine your metrics

Use the same metrics as your marketing goals

Example “micro” metrics

22

Higher order metrics to consider
