How we can help you

TOLSON assists you to formalize the objectives of building technical communities (the why), define their operating model and ramp them up: identifying the participants, designing the communication, moderating the kickoff and navigating the first months of deployment.

We lead you on the path to self-sufficiency and full ownership and equip you with tools to manage and develop your new community.

How does it work ?

The framework

At TOLSON our moto is “Progress together”: we believe that people deliver better when they are part of a strong community. Building such communities, either within or between companies is our daily job. We have developed a strong approach based on our experiences on this topic.

We work with the sponsor team to fine tune the objectives of the communities. Then we go on the field to meet the target people and understand what will be their expectations and benefits in being part of such communities.

We work with a multifunctional team (management + technical position) to define the communities’ operating model.

We ensure the first steps of the community e.g. moderation of kick off, communication, support in deploying new tools for managing the communities.

Since the beginning we work closely with an internal project owner to coach him/her and ensure he/she can quickly take full ownership of the communities’ management without future consulting support.

I am quite impressed by the speed of deployment of companies. If you compare where we were at the beginning of the year and now I see that we have all made big steps of change, we have also identified the challenges for the years to come. Extremely well structured.

By participating, I was confirmed several times on some choicesand this made my vision evolve. What I consider great are these workshop moments where we take a step back, review our ideas & take time to ask ourselves new questions.
