Building communities beyond structures
Communities by Design helps organizations intentionally design communities and ecosystems where people, partnerships and ideas flourish.
The core message
Communities are not managed.
They are designed.
Strong communities ecosystems emerge when purpose, people, trust, structure and growth are intentionally connected. Communities by Design is a framework, a canvas and a growing body of research to help you shape them.
Purpose
Why we exist together.
People
Who we bring together.
Trust
How we behave together.
Structure
How we organize together.
Growth
How we stay alive together.
