Gather Community Consulting is a Seattle-based consulting firm that specializes in community building.
The word community has many definitions, particularly within a business context. Many companies say they have a community, but what that means to them, and the role it plays in their organization varies considerably.
I am helping to kickstart my UWM grad school cohort’s Slack workspace this week. We face a situation common to almost every community I’ve ever worked with: a lot of new members are joining existing students, most of whom have already forged connections. This creates a divide between the existing membership and brand new members. This divide can exclude certain members, whether we intend for it to or not.
Hundreds of brands, from Glossier to Starbucks and Walmart to LinkedIn, built transformative and supportive communities in cities around the world from soup to nuts in 2018. If only that were true.
