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!

  • I'd like to expand my philosphical point about the 'community'. The CIPD is an organisation to some extent an educational organisation. All memebrs of the CIPD ar emembers of that educational establishment.

    The communities are only part of that, only some people pass by the communities noticeboard and post messages, the headmaster and many of the other members dont ever use the noticeboard. It isn't the whole school, its just a noticeboard, with a limited readership, and some of those are more frequent than others.

    To call the mechanism of this noticeboard a community doesn't sit right with me. Its just a noticeboard, nothing more.
