Roundtable: a viable community of analysts within the company

At last week's meeting, the speakers did a good job of going over why analysts should participate in professional communities and what goals to set before launching an internal community. They also talked about how to communicate and defend the idea of an internal community, and formed expectations about what to endure while moving that community forward. We ended up with an organizer's checklist of sorts. We strongly recommend reviewing the last entry.

At the new meeting, we'll focus on what happens when the community is somehow up and running and hasn't dried up after three activist meetings (that's how many meetings it takes for a community to fall apart). We'll discuss how to keep the community viable, what actions you need to take to keep it growing and thriving, more activists, and management celebrating your efforts.
