Rolling out Features of an Emergent Collaboration Platform
Rolling out Features of an Emergent Collaboration Platform.

Armano’s *The Five C’s of Community”
*The Five C’s of Community”
Content: Your “gift” to the community—what you bring to the table. (just like what you’re doing now on Google Plus)
Context: Your understanding of HOW the community wishes to be engaged.
Connectivity: Your ability to form meaningful connections across community members.
Continuity: Communities aren’t temporary campaigns—your ability to sustain them.
Collaboration: Often happens at the highest level of communities—when participants work together to meet common goals and objectives for the community.
