What's good about this Community and how can we improve it?

Hello!

It's been a while since I asked such an open question to all of this wonderful community.

- what do you like about the Communities?

- what single thing can we improve?

- what gets your goat (I mean mean 'what', and not 'who')

- are you an 'answer' person? Why? what do you get out of it (and by the way, thank you for doing what you do)

- has the community helped you get stuff done, and make your life easier? 

- has the community helped you grow your network? Is that important to you? Are we friendly and welcoming?

- what would your #1 piece of advice be to those thinking about posting for the first time?

I'm not expecting you to answer these precise questions. They're simply a guide, a prompt... in case you need prompting :)  

I'm very keen to hear from as many of you as possible. 

Big caveat: I can't promise to implement any of your suggestions - you know, technology & resources and stuff. But I will listen. Listen well, and pass on your thoughts. And you never know. 

Feel free to email me directly at s.bridger@cipd.co.uk if you would prefer not to go public. On the other hand, I do encourage you to share your thoughts with your peers, below.

Thanks in advance!

    You really are full of ideas this afternoon!. I would like to defend the moderator, however, as I personally think Steve does a great job and always takes a very fair line.


    I think part of the difficulties you raise stem from something I've been raising in these commuities for some time. That is the fact CIPD seems unable to separate out the commercial arm from the professional institute; and much of the activitiy is driven by the former rather than the latter. While this may make commercial sense it does, for me, sometimes call into question the integrity of the professional institute bit.


    Kind regards
