The concept of community lies at the heart of virtually every association. Not surprisingly, many associations have experimented with various community-oriented technologies to support members' learning, networking and collaboration, including listservs, discussion boards, and learning management systems. Most have found, however, that few tools exist that support - and advance - the processes and approaches to community-building. As a result, many associations have yet to integrate robust community strategies into their learning programs, conferences, conventions, and general membership services.
iCohere helps associations create communities of practice that support their core membership and organizational strategies.
Because we understand that creating a successful online community requires much more than just software, we also provide guidance and facilitation throughout the community-development process.
Our collaborative approach was developed as part of our groundbreaking partnership with the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and the Center for Association Leadership - a partnership that has resulted in new models for association learning, knowledge sharing, relationship building and collaboration. |
