STRATEGY TOOLS:

Hi Maarten, you are just joining us as Global Community Manager, what does that look like?

MAARTEN:

We are on a mission to transform how the world works on strategy. This is only possible when we are able to meet, support, activate and build a (very) large community around this mission.

Our understanding of ‘community success’ is not linked to #users on platform, #followers or #retweets. These things are nice, maybe even necessary, but not a ‘success’ in itself. We need to build out the tech platforms and channels to enable the community, but that is not the goal in itself.

STRATEGY TOOLS:

Maarten, what are some things you hope to contribute to in the role?

MAARTEN:

I hope to support people to tell their stories, to connect people. To build a community which will become an important asset of Strategy Tools.

STRATEGY TOOLS:

Finally, how can Partners, from Australia to South America, work with you to develop the community?

MAARTEN:

I would love to hear your stories, use cases, best practices, successes but also failures & learnings. Let’s be open and start sharing. Start by visiting our community at the Hub & Linkedin or send me a short email.
