Hello

Some member communities are busy in some groups or topics, and quiet in others. An event discussion may get attention, but the conversation fades quickly. A few members may contribute often, while others mostly read.

Maybe your staff keeps posting prompts, but the responses are inconsistent.

Leadership may support the idea of community, but they still can’t see the value it is creating.

When that happens, the instinct is often to add more.

  • More content.
  • More prompts.
  • More emails.
  • More events.

But more activity (and more work for you) is not the answer.

You don’t need another task list to add to your day, and your members don’t need waves of untargeted, unfocused content. You need a strategy. You need to ask yourself:

Which part of the community needs attention?

  • Sometimes the issue is Purpose: Members are not clear why the community matters.
  • Sometimes it is People: The same voices are visible, while other member groups are not well understood.
  • Sometimes it is Participation: Members read, but there is no clear next action.
  • Sometimes it is Process: The community depends too much on a few (or just one!) busy staff members.
  • Sometimes it is Proof: Useful things are happening, but the value is hard to understand.

That is why we created the 5P Community Assessment.

It takes around five minutes, it asks 20 short questions, and it gives you a practical result across Purpose, People, Participation, Process, and Proof.

Take the assessment to see what is working in your member community, what needs attention, and where to focus next.

Best,
The Sengii Team
