Purpose
Channel Forums (guilds or Communities of Practice) may become vital in the age of multi-platform communication. Designed primarily as a space where individuals come together to exchange ideas, they can play a crucial role in decision-making regarding specific communication channels. Within a large enterprise, diverse Crews may coexist. Forums act as bridges, ensuring a continuous dialogue across all Crews and fostering a more inclusive and collaborative environment.
The beauty of Channel Forums lies in their adaptability. Depending on the current needs and trends, an organization can set up a Forum tailored to a particular communication channel. Be it traditional retail, the expansive world of online communication, physical outlets, or any emerging platform, these Forums provide an arena for discussion, strategy formulation, and decision-making. In an era where communication strategies can make or break businesses, Channel Forums offer a collective, informed approach to navigating the multifaceted communication landscape.
Rules / Constraints
The Forum exists only for discussions and decision-making.
The Forum participants do most of their work on Crews, not on Forums.
Nobody on a Forum is the manager of all Forum members.
