A lot of co-workings (and others) are trying to create communities on slack at the moment. Many get frustrated after a while. Why?

🔥 slack is perhaps the tool for fast-moving teams, but why doesn’t it work to create community for us?

🔥Why can a messenger like whatsapp, slack, telegram work very well for nerdy niche communities?

🔥What do you need to have to make people start networking? (if that is important to you)

Leslie and me discuss this and more 🙂 Dig and comment back!

The co-working world is finding a new footing - the hybrid model. This means:

fewer people in the space

need for good communication tools (no, it’s not email…😉)

need for community to stand out and add the 2 second value besides office (community)

need for competent back-office to secure demand - via external bookings and easy payments

Many are jumping into community building at the moment - which is super-nice… But what is the right platform? 🤷‍♂️

Why is slack a Fiat? 😇

And when is a Fiat right for you? 🙂

Can you compare a community platform to a Volvo station wagen?

And what kind of community platform builds are more like Ferraris - good for the ego with a big wallet, but maybe just for a few?

Leslie Clarke and yours truly discuss ‘remote work’ - a thing that happened almost over night. With Covid forcing us to go remote, this is the new normal for most of us.

But what happens with:

Leadership?

Office rituals?

The team when we use social and community tools?

Information security?

Freedom - more, less or just different?

(at haaartland we operated like this before the pandemic - for us at has meant happier 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 families, less stressful commutes, more autonomy and more collaboration). Would be super to have your ten cents in the comments. What has been your 🙂 experience?

Leslie Clarke and yours truly discuss ‘the true social feed’

What components are there to make it as narcotic as it is?

How has it changed the fundamentals in society (hint: people suddenly spending + 2 hours a day there, day in and day out)

How can you use it yourself?

What are the ethics involved?

Discussion about tools such as #slack, Whatsapp, Facebook, Mighty Network, forums and blogs - which ones have a true social feed? Consequence?

Why this podcast?

A LOT of us are looking at tools for passion businesses or just plain communities

You can run a community with - or without - a true social feed. Ideally you should make the choice based on insight. E.g highly engaged nerds (like me) might be fine running a community without a true social feed, like a slack community. But a more loosely built community - like a passion community or a community of practise - might be better of with the more visual social feed

Arguably the true social feed has changed humanity - society, democracy, families, the fundaments of marketing, the attention and health of almost all of humanity. So well, it needs to be discussed 🤷‍♂️

Disclaimer

haaartland (where I am a co-founder) is built around a true social feed thinking, so there is a bit of pushing for the social feed in the pod, sorry about that 😬
