A successful online group doesn’t just spring up out of nowhere.
These active online groups are the result of a carefully thought out
and tested process. What are those processes that can help your online
group get off to a flying start, and keep it active and make it thrive?
What do you want to achieve?

Running an active online group isn’t easy. The natural tendency for
online groups is to start strong when everyone is new and excited, but
they can dwindle over time as members and facilitators lose interest,
if they do not have a strong purpose or an action plan to work on.
This is something that we term the trough of sorrow. But more on that
another day.
We have learned a lot since we...

Remember those days where you could stare into the audience to see if
what you are saying was making an impact or even stare at a few people
to see if they are paying attention.
Maybe that last bit is just me.
With more of us just speaking to our laptop and hoping that the
system we are using will at least let us see a few faces on the screen
to see if they are still with us, it’s a...

COVID-19 has made a dramatic impact on conferences and in-person
events being cancelled to protect people and "flatten the
curve" of this virus, which is the right thing to do.
As we adapt our workplace and how we interact with each other, the
need for virtual events has increased. In time there may be the option
for blended events that mix face to face elements with virtual...

null Connecting community capabilities – how can an Open Place Directory help in the time of COVID-19?
There are examples across the whole of the UK, and some great tweets
and posts about the ways in which councils have worked together with
their partners and communities. The New Local Government Network did a
brilliant job of collating them and summarising the main themes over
on their Councils vs COVID and #CouncilsRespond series of
blog posts.
In many cases, councils have built...

With budget cuts and reduced funding, digital collaboration plays an
important role and enables Knowledge Hub members to stay connected,
reach a wider audience and support their work. The recent pandemic has
increased the need for members to stay connected and tap into a wider
audience (in addition to the usual go-to colleagues,) while continuing
to carry out their job role.

In late June and early July 2018, I was racing between London,
Cardiff and Birmingham, helping Linda O’Halloran, Egle Uzkaraityte,
Adam Thoulass and our colleagues in the embryonic MHCLG Local Digital
team to put the final touches to the coalition of 40+ councils,
government departments and public sector organisations that
co-authored the Declaration. We had crafted the Declaration in...

You might be someone who jumps right in and gets stuck in there and
learns by winging it. Or you might be a little more cautious and
assess all the bits and pieces first and then get going, knowing that
you have some formal guidance to help you along the way. Then there
are those who prefer to seek some help and advice from others and find
out how they got on with it, and perhaps...

Why group communications matter
Your members might benefit from regular communications from you
that allows them to develop useful habits about how they visit and
participate in the group. There may be news and updates that members
will be keen to find out on a routine basis or perhaps more ad-hoc
communications to keep momentum going. Either way, a simple group
