Networking is all about forming relationships with people to allow the sharing of information, ideas, services and other people. It saves you time looking around for things, and puts you in contact with the necessary facilities or people who have "been there before" and ensure you get exactly what you're looking for.

A number of organisations in the community require money to help fund their projects and day to day operations. This is not just done by sponsorship and it can be necessary for them to employ fundraising techniques in order to reach their financial goals. Fundraising ideas can include selling raffle tickets, running trivia nights, holding auctions, sports days, fun runs, bbqs, selling chocolates, movie nights and lots more.

A lot of these organisations have a committee with lots of man power, which enables them to make things happen without too much legwork. But sometimes an organisation such as a sports team or youth group may not even have a committee, and is only run by one or two people, with no extra assistance. It is in these situations where networking becomes all the more important.

For these smaller organisations, having a good network will greatly improve your community fundraising efforts. If, for example, you are looking to sell raffle tickets, knowing the right contacts will assist you in all stages of the fundraiser process. Firstly, you will be able to source suitable companies who are willing to donate their products or services as prizes for your raffle. Secondly, you will be able to find good locations for your members to set up tables and sell the raffle tickets.

Take a triva night as another example. Networking will put you in touch with people who can help organise a venue to hold the function at. It will also allow you to find an MC for the night who is reliable and affordable. This will ensure that costs are kept low, and maximise your profits for the event. After all, money is the key here!

As you can see, networking can benefit your organisations fundraising plans immensely. Knowing more people in the community and having contacts who can point you in the right direction will ensure your ideas are brought to life, and the techniques used are of the highest quality. Raising money for your club, group or sports team will never be easier! ]]> http://www.articlecabi.net/business/networking/communities-of-practice-and-%238212%3B-business-collaboration-today.html http://www.articlecabi.net/business/networking/communities-of-practice-and-%238212%3B-business-collaboration-today.html Wed, 04 Aug 2010 23:55:42 -0400
It's no secret these days that technology has its hands in everything, and it is leading the way in new age business collaboration as well. Thanks to numerous advancements in online interaction, businesses have been able to move toward social computing in an effort to streamline communication and information sharing for vast workforces that have a global reach. Communities of practice have become a huge part of this social computing concept.

To best understand the impact of social computing, think back to your middle school days (I'll give you a minute, some of us take longer than others). You've just been given a group assignment. You're stuck with your best friend, who is a known slacker, and 3 other no names. Let's be honest, the only decision that needs to be made is which sucker gets stuck with the brunt of the work; and depending upon the group, you're just hoping it isn't you. Now this is the magic that is provided by communities of practice. Imagine now that shortly after being grouped in with your BFF and the no-names that you are provided with an itemized list of everyone's vital statistics. You instantly know their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and abilities. Now you are not just shoveling the work off on the kid who looks the smartest, or forgets to speak up, or whatever it may be. Instead, you have a collaborative strategy that allows you to take on the project by maximizing the skills and resources of the group from minute one.

This is exactly what communities of practice provide for the business. They not only foster an uber-collaborative approach, but in some cases, they actively facilitate an employee's ability to further engage with the workforce. By providing a forum for all stakeholders, both internal and external, to engage in collaboration, these communities lead to quick and informed decision making, well-equipped employees, and an accessible knowledge-base that get the job done.

In today's business world, collaboration just makes sense and communities of practice bring with them the ability to open up the lines of communication to connect the workforce, discover and share expertise, and engage customers in the work the business is doing. No man is an island, collaborate.

Before the Internet things were done in more of a person-to-person way. Networking could have been done over the phone, over lunch, or during a golf game. It took a lot of effort to network and makes contacts. However the contacts were much stronger and gave a face to your business.
The Internet makes networking much faster and easier. It's pretty as easy as hitting a few keys on the keyboard and clicking the mouse button, and e-mails can be sent back and fourth. There is hardly any effort in doing this, and this essentially frees up more time for you to be able to do other things affiliated with your business. Although this does seem better, it makes your business a lot less personable.

Mixing both the Internet and person-to-person methods is the best way to have a good network. Using e-mails, or even discussion forums can be a helpful way to meet people and contacts. I think it is important to know that in order for those contacts to be strong, it would be beneficial to meet person-to-person.

In doing this, you could create a great impression and put a face to your business. If the impression is good the contact could mention your name to one of his friends, and it could flow down to their friends creating an even larger network. If you ignore the personable approaches to networking, you contacts might not be as strong. If you ignore the use of technology and the Internet, it might be hard to first meet those contacts that can help get your name out.

Networking is all about communicating with other people who can end up helping you and your business in the long run. Using the Internet in conjuncture with person-to-person methods can generate some really good contacts that can help you out for a long time.
