The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut by Father Michael J. McGivney as a fraternal benefit society to provide financial assistance to its members and their families. It has since grown to over 1.7 million members worldwide. The Knights of Columbus is dedicated to charity work, donating over $1.4 billion and over 600 million hours of service in the last decade alone. They provide support to churches, families in need, and charitable causes aligned with Catholic values.
Each community is unique. Each community has its own dynamics. Do you know your own community? What makes it unique? How would you identify with your community?
As a member of the community you are aware that your own community has its own structure and way things work. But for those who are interested or would like to work in a community they need to have a clear grasp/perception of the community before any activity. They must learn to interact, appreciate, and accept the community and its dynamics. One must learn the environment, the physical, social, economic, cultural and political environment.
All the data you gather from the community serves as a background for your study. It can be your initial assessment. An understanding of how the community perceives the benefits and costs of participating will facilitate decision making and consensus building and will translate into improved program planning, design, policy development, organization, and advocacy. Knowing the community can also understand what can serve as assets and weaknesses of the community. It can also help you gauge the diversity of the community and the networks established within and outside the community. Also knowing how the community interact among them can help you understand how the community will respond to problems and situations.
Quoting Deng Xiao Peng “There are many ways to skin a cat.” The said quotation is also applicable in knowing a community. Melgarito and Mendoza (2016) stated that one of the best way to understand the community is though immersing with the community. Immersing is more than exposure. It makes you understand what makes them vulnerable and strong. To know is imperative to assess what they are and what are capable of.

Analysts claim that workforce social collaboration technology can improve the productivity of interaction workers by 25%. That’s an amazing productivity gain from your entire staff simply deploying Jive or Yammer. But your own workforce inherently work collaboratively already by virtue of the fact that they share a common employer, common goals, common systems, common data. They often share the same office premises. This compelling whitepaper contends that the greatest productivity gains for businesses are in fact to be derived from collaboration with and among external ecosystems – both supply – and demand-side who share none of these things and goes on to discuss best practices and technologies for enabling collaboration beyond the enterprise.
