“The constant is change…” This is a fundamental truth in technology. Change is a dynamic, driving force in both the evolution of threads of technology as w
ell as in ongoing efforts to tie together processes, tools and systems for the best user experience. Technology affects how we live, work, play, and gain and give information to understand our world.
Technology user groups, professional associations and consortia have formed over the years and continue to form to share knowledge, discuss best practices, influence future development and accelerate personal and professional growth. This dynamic and tumultuous environment creates challenges for technology communities, membership organizations and the vendors who support them, including:
- The inevitable need to do more with less
- Increasing numbers of competitors for member time and attention
- Understanding evolving community requirements and preferences
- Limited volunteer availability
- Variable vendor-user community relationships
- Finding new value-add offers and bringing them to the community—quickly
