Which? aims to empower consumers using digital tools that help users produce formal letters for tricky personal situations or report problems through structured journeys. Initial tools helped with flight delay compensation letters and faulty goods refund requests. The tools work by embedding a signup form to collect user information, then using that data to generate a personalized complaint letter that the user can email to a company. The tools are low-cost for Which? and self-service for users, while demonstrating Which?'s value and deepening user trust. Which? also developed tools to help a regulator investigate bank transfer scams by breaking the process into friendly steps and ensuring submissions are structured and useful. Over 32,000 reports were collected, overwhelming the regulator and revealing millions of pounds

Unconscious motivational values are largely missing from most discussions about what happened in the EU Referendum vote for ‘Brexit’ and the Trump election. Many people have asked me what ‘values’ may have played and this post is my view of the most probable values dynamic, based on the available evidence from CDSM and other sources. In ‘Part 2’ I’ll look at what it means now and next.
Nominated for the Care2 Impact award, the Right2Water movement in Ireland has grown from local grassroots community action into the largest national movement in the history of the State. Similarly in Spain the Guanyem (Let’s Win) municipality movement has grown from local communities to become a powerful movement for change, electing activists to city councils across Spain.

Salesforce Case Management with Canadian Cancer Society, Salesforce.org, and ...Heller Consulting
Case management can be used as a specific term, but in the most basic sense it simply describes a process: information comes into a system, it gets processed in some way, and then something happens as a result. This simple process can be used and extended in a variety of ways to help a nonprofit organization deliver its mission and achieve its goals. From internal help desk tickets and support issues to managing customer requests or even grant applications, case management techniques and processes can streamline interactions between constituents and staff to provide a smooth and trackable experience from beginning to end.
Join us July 26 for this in-depth webinar where we will show how the Canadian Cancer Society in Saskatchewan utilized the case management functionality of Salesforce in their multi-channels engagement center to manage calls, emails, social connections, fundraising coaching and more. We’ll also discuss how they utilized cases in their financial assistance program and to provide an effective and efficient way to manage one of the more complex and time-consuming processes in their program. The Society was able to leverage the power of cases to enable and track service delivery and ensure the goals of the program were being met.
In this webinar, Salesforce.org, the Canadian Cancer Society in Saskatchewan and Heller Consulting show what’s possible with case management in Salesforce. At the end, you’ll walk away with new ideas on how to leverage this functionality for your own organization.
Key Takeaways:
- Live demo of case management in Salesforce
- Learn how the Canadian Cancer Society built one of its cancer support programs by leveraging case management functionality
- Learn how the Society implemented a multi-channel engagement centre with cases as a key solution component

Content prioritization: A method to inform what to tackle first so the user +...Sara Walsh
Learn a simple way to help you prioritize which content projects to work on first so that user needs -- and the content that supports them -- are considered in context of all your business objectives.

Tom Diederich portfolio presentation (updated Nov. 18, 2016)Tom Diederich
I created this presentation to highlight some of the milestones in my career as an online community builder over the past 15 years. I hope it can also help other community managers and executives tasked with building and/or growing an online community.
This talk includes
* Tips for building and growing a new community from scratch
* Tips for resurrecting a floundering community
* How to connect Support to your community via Slack and other social tools
* The perks of a social listening program
* How to turn social rants into customer service tickets
* The importance of gamification
* And much more!
My name is Tom Diederich and this presentation is a timeline of sorts highlighting my experiences in the field of online community management, which started in 2005 when I joined an internal team at Intuit that created one of the world’s first online customer communities – a forums-based question-and-answer space for TurboTax customers.
The following year, I took everything I learned in that project and joined Symantec -- then the third-largest software company in the world -- where I assembled a nimble team of three and together we designed, launched and managed the organization’s first social media presence and online community in 2006. Yes, I am proud to say that I was Symantec's first community manager and first social media strategist.
I’ve been building and managing large corporate communities ever since. I hope this deck helps you in your work with online communities. Please feel free to contact if you'd like to ask any questions, etc.
As grant professionals, we work to avoid all errors in grant applications—from math, to grammar, to citations. Nevertheless, we are all human and oversights slip through. Often the mistakes are minor and overlooked by a potential funder. However, there are times when an error can jeopardize a funding award. It has happened to many—if not all—of us. The critical question is how, as a new or seasoned grant professional, to learn from these mistakes and still successfully continue to move your organization or your client forward.

The Garage Group on Bringing the Outside In: Collaborating with External Stak...The Garage Group
This is the deck from a talk we gave on Bringing the Outside In: Collaborating with External Stakeholders to Discover Insights and Build Big Ideas at the 2013 Cincinnati Innovation Summit.
Involving key stakeholders in innovation is a critical, but often overlooked criterion for success. Suppliers, influencers, third party buyers, customer gate keepers and other partners are not only critical to an initiative’s success, but they often have insight that can lead to bigger, better ideas.
This breakout session will share the importance of involving external stakeholders in the process of generating insights that lead to ideas; and in the process of developing, piloting and launching new initiatives. We’ll share 2-3 case studies to inspire participants to build an action plan (template to be provided) to map key stakeholders and specific action steps to involve them in a current or future innovation initiative.
Climate Communications: Reaching Beyond the ChoirFairSay
By Leane de Laigue (Head of Communications at Climate Outreach) presented at the 2018 Campaigning Forum in Oxford (April 2018)
Overview
Climate change demands a response across society, from people of all ages, faiths, nationalities and sides of the political spectrum. Public engagement underpins all climate solutions – and yet most climate change communication is not only ineffective but counterproductive, working only for the minority of people who consider themselves environmentalists.
Climate Outreach’s team of social scientists and communication specialists work with organisations to help them communicate about climate change in ways that resonate with the values of their audiences and inspire them to action.
Join Leane de Laigue, Head of Communications at Climate Outreach, to hear about how we’re reaching beyond the choir, in particular through our work with centre-right audiences and our Climate Visuals project.
About Léane de Laigue
Head of Communications at Climate Outreach, Léane brings over 15 years of international experience in environmental communication and marketing. Prior to joining Climate Outreach, she lived in Vancouver where she worked at the David Suzuki Foundation as well as teaching Environmental Studies at a secondary school. Before that, she worked in London as a Marketing Manager for Johnson & Johnson. She holds a Master’s in Environment & Management and a B Ed (Canada), an MBA in Marketing (US) and a B.A in Humanities (France). She is a native speaker of English and French.

2. Why tools?
Which? exists to make consumers as powerful as the organisations they deal with every day.
While petitions are great, we want to use our digital
skills and platforms to do more, every day:
➔ Empowering supporters to speak out
➔ Helping them navigate complex problems
➔ Creating ambassadors
➔ Growing our supporter base in return
3. Two initial avenues
➔Letter tools – help users produce formal letters for tricky personal situations
➔Triage/reporting tools – create a structured, guided journey to diagnose and
report problems
Both add value to standard signup forms – the former by repurposing the inputs,
the latter by restructuring the journey.
4. Letter-writing tools
Picked out the areas with the highest traffic and where personalised tools could be
developed. Initial trials included:
➔ Flight delay compensation
➔ Flight cancellation compensation
➔ Faulty goods - repair/refund request
6. The recipe (technical bit)
➔ Ingredient 1: a signup form – recreating your standard CRM form within a simple web
page gives you the flexibility to add custom scripts and manipulate how information is
handled and submitted.
➔ Ingredient 2: a little JavaScript/jQuery – submits to your signup form, then pulls it from
the signup JSON into a preview complaint letter.
7. The recipe (technical bit)
➔ Ingredient 3: email personalisation – use the personalisation fields in your
transactional/receipt email to deliver a custom letter that a supporter can send
to a company or influencer.
➔ Ingredient 4: a little data analysis and follow-up – check in with tool users
later to gain feedback for promotion and fix problems
8. Why they work
➔ Fill in the gaps for non-experts – saving your supporters time and money
demonstrates your value and deepens trust
➔ Costs you nothing – if you already have a campaigns lead-gen platform like
BSD, you already have everything you need to offer this
➔ Entirely self-service – no support or maintenance are really required once
launched, and it will collect leads organically as long as it’s live.
9. Triage tools: what and why?
Gathering evidence for public inquiries that is valuable and relevant can be a
struggle for government, and can be a slog for individuals. These:
➔ Explain the purpose of the investigation
➔ Break the process of participating into friendly, manageable pieces
➔ Personalise the process, asking only what is relevant to an individual
➔ Ensure that the submission collected is in a structured, useful format
➔ Avoid lots of custom development and microsites
10. How they work
Content page
introduction/journey
Relevant forms for
different groups
Relevant support
content end points
11. Why structure it this way?
➔Gradually introduce a complex issue
➔Filter out but still give outlets to those unaffected
➔Personalise each step
➔(Internally) clearly define roles with a project,
contextualise comms
12. Example: bank transfer scams
Context:
➔We wanted to highlight the lack of protection consumers have if tricked into
transferring money from their account to scammers.
➔The regulator was unsure of the scale of the problem
➔We decided to help them find out
13. Example: bank transfer scams
Solution:
➔Ask supporters if they have been affected, and allow them to report personal
experiences, or those of friends/family
➔Four steps – triage, evidence-giving, completion (with advice) and the option to
discuss further.
➔Social sharing, email journeys and press partnerships launched to boost
awareness.
14. Example: bank transfer scams
The results:
➔Over 32,000 people came forward to share their evidence, overwhelming the
regulator
➔Millions of pounds of scams were reported, many for the first time – breaking the
shame barrier that often accompanies fraud.
➔The regulator is now investigating this kind of scam further.
15. General tool advice: avoiding pitfalls
➔ Consider your embeds
➔ Automate away admin
➔ Define a strict time-frame (or have systems in place to cope with a trickle)
16. General tool advice: avoiding pitfalls
➔ Provide a route for and be prepared to manage correspondence
➔ Think about how you’ll collect and treat user feedback
➔ Improve, adapt – and recycle!
18. Latest developments
➔ Widgetisation – better embedding, better
tracking.
➔ Pagination – adding decision trees and
personalisation within forms themselves.
Which?/BSD widgetisation tool
19. Next steps
Taking the strain out of handling all the data
➔ Automation of feedback – triggered emails after a defined period that gather
feedback
➔ Automation of analysis – using machine learning to spot word patterns and
company names.
➔ Linking with data sources for better letters – although beware evil permissions!
21. Thanks for listening!

Editor's Notes
In the last 4 years our supporter base has grown from 120k to over 900k.
We involve supporters in our campaigning work and make advice available through our consumer rights site (7.3 million hits a year and growing).
Letter tools – Help individuals produce properly formulated standard letters seeking redress or access to services. Empower users in situations that may be unfamiliar or confusing.
Triage/reporting tools – Collect complex and confidential personal experiences of consumer problems in a stepped, guided way that personalises the evidence-gathering process and produces more relevant, structured data.
If you’ve had a delayed or cancelled flight, or your washing machine has broken, you might not know who to write to or what to say.
Created a tool with our system. A standard petition form, essentially just put to work in another way, helping an individual rather than building a critical mass.
These tools are designed to:
Clearly explain the purpose of the evidence sought and empower individuals to come forwards
Break the process into manageable pieces
Personalise the process, asking only what is relevant to an individual
Ensure that the submission collected is in a structured, effective format
Avoid lots of custom development and microsites
Each step allows for greater personalisation, deepening engagement and increasing rate ofcompletion/onward journeys
– you may want third parties to include your tool on their pages; ensure that it’s going to look right on their sites.
If you’re taking responsibility for delivering your tool’s outputs to regulators or other stakeholders, try to automate this process before launch.
Alternatively, pick a specific purpose for the tool and define a time-frame for responses - don’t leave it open-ended unless you have to.
people ask technical questions when you’re helping them fix a problem.
during development to speed up fixes for UX problems.
ensure that you make room for review and reiteration of a tool once launched. And think about how you could reuse your code for similar tools
elegant script embedding to speed up building and styling of tools, to fit in with third parties and look good across our own sites.
Refine what we ask, how and to whom. We’ve been developing this functionality with Forward Action.
Get feedback automatically on how companies are handling complaints issued through our tool and offer further steps.
identify problem areas and dodgy products for further action.
complaints can be made easier by accessing cheap or free APIs to fill in missing information.
Tools effectively already exist in your systems – they just need you to help them appear.
Tools can be as simple or complex as you need them to be – the journey is whatever you imagine it to be.
They give your users a much more personal experience than signup forms, and this can encourage people to come forward on complicated and scary issues
