Online Communities of Practice

Digital strategy consulting & portfolio management, Programming software solutions

Since July 2013

Konnektiv has consulted GIZ and other clients on setting up (mainly internal) online communities of practice. This process entails some or all phases of the platform development including: information gathering and interviews of the target group, conceptualization, community structure, design, programming, and implementation of the platform, technical training of editorial teams, first or secondary-level support, and maintenance. Communities developed include:

  • Social Media Community, an internal platform on digital topics (conceptualization, structure, programming, implementation, secondary support, consulting); the platform has since evolved to GIZ.digital using Konnektiv’s community-centred MOOC platform
  • Cre8ideas, an idea generation platform (programming, implementation)
  • Communications Worldwide, an internal platform for corporate communications of GIZ (programming, implementation, consulting)
  • Corporate Sustainability Handprint Portal (programming, implementation, consulting, training)
  • Global Learning Database for the Alumni Network Health and Social Protection
