CoP Visual Board 7: User Experience
In the context of a community (of practice), we understand user experience to be members’ and the community ecosystem’s experience of/with the community’s operational model. This includes:
how to design and communicate your purpose, vision, objectives and strategy
how to use appreciative inquiry to identify and design a vision for your community needs, challenges and opportunities;
how to pitch your community’s value proposition.
All of the above have a profound impact on the community’s success. A user can be a community member, community leader, sponsor or anyone else within or outside the community who benefits from the community. Mature, advanced communities are much more than a support forum. They thrive because they engage people and encourage them to share knowledge, experiences and resources. When you care about community members’ experience and acquire feedback on the quality of the community’s online and ‘in real life’ environments, you ensure community engagement. Integrating all of the discovered elements of the users’ experiences and avoiding confusion are key to designing user-centric experiences. This ensures that users experience the right flow of support and information, and increases online interoperability.
how to define and work with personas;
how to identify and act on community member levels of satisfaction/concern with the workings of the community; how to gauge what member support is needed;
how to revise/adapt user experience approaches based on satisfaction/importance levels.
