People have very strong feelings about the definition of “community” in a social business context. And this week in the World of Work, we’ll dig even deeper into the differences and similarities among talent communities, social communities, and other communities supported by digital channels…
Quid pro quo. It’s a concept as old as civilization. And it’s a dynamic that lives at the core of every successful community — large or small, business or otherwise. This was the premise for a week of #TChat devoted to understanding what makes talent communities work…
