4 Essential Pillars of a Talent Community - Workology

4 Essential Pillars of a Talent Community - Workology The Buzz About Online Networks Talent Communities The Buzz About Online Networks Talent Communities Theres a lot of buzz on  Talent Communities  in the HR world right now.  It seems like thats something thats heard at least a couple of times a day and its true, there  IS  a lot of buzz out there.  Everybody wants to have a voice in the conversation because of it; and like the latest fashion, theres a mad rush to have one of our very own.  So, the building begins, the community is launched as people are invited.  They sign up, the make an initial post participate in a discussion or two and then? Nothing.  Where has all the talent gone from the talent community? In the mad rush to create the talent community; many businesses HR/Recruitment professionals fail to invest the time to properly understand that success is not a given.  Communities do fail; and according to  Fortune, most do.  There are four main pillars of success for any online community: Commitment Strategy Content Members Without these four components planned prior to launch; theres little chance the community will succeed.  And if they do fail; its in front of those you were trying to strengthen a prospective employment relationship with.  Not exactly inspiring for the talent, is it? Commitment The first pillar to Community success is to have commitment to dedicate the resources, time, and the appropriate personnel.  The best community managers are natural control freaks who have learned when to hold tight of all the things that need to be done; and when to let go of controlling the conversation so the invited members can do what you invited them to:  get connected. Community architects their organizations also have to be committed to the holding firmly to the truth that they dont get to retain true ownership of the talent community and they shouldnt want to.  In order for the community to blossom, they must ensure there are enough content to initially bond around; but ultimately allow the community members to drive discussions ownership. So how do you get comfortable enough to let go? Liken your community to a 24/7 party.   When youre hosting a social gathering, a lot of planning and preparation goes into making sure its a success.  But while you plan the food that will be served, the games that will be played, and the entertainment thats enjoyed do you script the conversations everyone will have about them?  No, of course not.  Same with your community, you provide the initial content continue to refresh the plates as needed; but then let the guests discuss and enjoy it as they will. Give it Away.  Whenever I launch a community, I immediately seek out the help of 2 others that can serve as additional administrators champions of the cause.  Theyre given administrative rights the freedom to use them. The strategy is shared once responsibilities are clearly understood; I back off and let them lead, taking more of a strategist role.  This allows the new administrators excitement to remain high will increase the likelihood theyll  evangelize new members drive discussions. The next step is to make it abundantly clear that the community is there for your  talent   and they dont need your permission to post a new topic, or have their views moderated.  No one likes approvals it bottlenecks the conversation is a major cause of community abandonment.  If you cant give the control away to your admins members; you might as well prepare for the ghost town. Remember No Ones Perfect.    Learn to be okay with making mistakes and remember that its not possible for  everyone  to like you even Fairy Tale Heroes have detractors.  Ensure your reaction to your  detractors  is calm, measured, and in keeping with your brand.  Dont delete the negative unless its offensive material; use it as an opportunity for your influencer members to rally around your brand. Strategy For any community to succeed, you need to know what you want to get out of it and then build it as though its not about you.  Because the truth is that its not.  If its about  your  motives, your agenda; your Community  will  fail. Success comes when you can merge your desired outcome with their perceived value.  It is that which will drive participation. Be careful about the technology platform you pick to hold your community. Most people have problems with third party platforms; there is enough social congestion that they dont have the desire to log in track conversations on a separate platform.   If you can effectively build your community on a platform theyre  already  interacting with you on?  Youre ahead of the game it greatly increases the odds for success. By following these guidelines and checking out part 2 of this blog series, youll help keep the talent in your  talent community interested in coming back for the long-haul.

Papers Sought for Special Journal Issue on Microscale Mechanis...

Papers Sought for Special Journal Issue on Microscale Mechanis... Papers Sought for Special Journal Issue on Microscale Mechanis... Papers Sought for Special Journal Issue on Microscale Mechanisms and Robots Feb. 24, 2017 > The ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics is at present requesting specialized papers for a unique issue that will concentrate on microscale components and robots. Papers for this exceptional diary issue, which is required to be distributed online this mid year, ought to be presented by April 10. The possibility of microrobots with abilities like their creepy crawly partners has enraptured the mechanical technology and microsystems networks for over 20 years. Survivors after a tremor could be discovered quicker if automated bugs could focus on the endeavors of people on call. Automated medical procedure can be upgraded by infused robots or mechanical frameworks toward the finish of a catheter. Ants and termites fabricate amazing structures and microrobots could be utilized to make huge structures along these lines. Building microrobots is a drawn out test that will require various logical and specialized advances. For instance, in light of the fact that microscale components are required to interface with the world, microactuators may be required to drive these instruments, and microscale sensors and controllers will be fundamental relying upon the application. Amazing showings to date of this innovation incorporate flying robots the size of a honey bee, microscale attractive control for clinical applications, consistent instrument plan at little scopes, and earthbound robots the size of ants. Be that as it may, there is still a lot of work to be done to unravel these various difficulties. This extraordinary issue of the Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics is expected to be an assortment of papers that address the difficulties intrinsic in the mechanics, structure, creation, and use of microscale systems and microrobots. Approaches can concentrate on microscale systems, including plan, manufacture, novel materials, and displaying. Papers can likewise concentrate on applicable subcomponents of a microrobotic framework, however should address some part of the mechanics or structure of these subcomponents. Furthermore, papers that address incorporation of these parts into mechanical frameworks at little scopes or incorporate exercises learned in both displaying as well as applications are welcome. The visitor editors for the uncommon issue on Microscale Mechanisms and Robots are Sarah Bergbreiter, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland; Larry Howell, Professor and Associate Dean at Brigham Young University; and Robert J. Wood, the Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University.
