Purpose
After establishing your Theory of Change there is a moment to pause and reflect on whether a digital community is right for your needs. Globally, organisations are excited to use digital tools and channels without taking a moment to think about the impact they want to make. At this moment, it is time to take a step back. Is it really necessary to use the digital tools to create the intended impact? This section details a decision-making process to understand whether building digital communities for social change is the right pathway to achieve your desired goal.
