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.
