 |
Set together by expert co-leaders and all members |
Set by organizers, usually months in advance |
 |
You’re focusing and dealing with multiple real-time, real- world issues that you and your peers care enough about to bring to the workshop. You truly have your finger on the pulse on what’s going on |
You’re hearing some best practices and case studies that may or may not be relevant to you and your organization |
 |
Each member has the option of presenting an issue they’re dealing with and get ideas and suggestions from the group; also ability to ask each other questions |
Except for hallway conversations, there is little or no chance to get individual questions answered |
 |
Lean in – you’re actively engaged and listening to give and receive ideas and enjoy the conversation |
Lean back – you’re listening and perhaps, taking notes, but not expected to contribute |
 |
Listening, strategic thinking and consulting, collaboration, future-casting and advising |
Listening |
 |
By the end of your workshop, you and your cohort are co-collaborators and ready to be BFFs (Best Friends Forever) |
By the end of the conference you’ve met a handful of peers whom you probably won’t ever talk to again |
 |
Attend four 60-minute web conferences from your office or any mobile device over a month |
2-4 days out of office, with work both interrupting and stacking up while you’re away |
 |
$495 for four sessions over a month + Communitelligence Premier
|
$2-8,000 for registration and travel |
 |
Energizing time for thinking and having insights; at end of each session, can return to work refreshed |
Energy draining, because you’re alternating between feeling like you’re drinking from a fire hose from so much content, or you’re being subjected to Chinese water torture from the slow pace of irrelevant material |
 |
The most individual help, learning, skills development and networking for the least time and cost commitment |
Only best if you just want a good excuse to get out of the office and travel |
