How to Choose the Right Format for Your Community
Different business communities require different formats. The right choice depends on the maturity of the club, the profile of its members and the role the community plays in their business decisions.
1
Community maturity and size
Early-stage or highly curated communities usually need depth and trust-building, while larger or growing clubs require scalable and structured formats.
-
Small, curated communities → Strategic Masterminds
-
Growing clubs (50–150 members) → Hybrid formats: workshops + masterminds
-
Large associations → Workshops, simulations and public formats
2
Member profile and decision level
The more senior the members, the more strategic and outcome-focused the formats should be. Tactical content works poorly for founder-level audiences.
-
Founders and business owners → Strategy, decision-making, peer exchange
-
Executives and leaders → Leadership and operational clarity
-
Mixed-level audiences → Structured workshops and facilitated discussions
3
Community goals and leadership involvement
Formats should reflect what the club is optimising for: engagement, value perception, business results or long-term positioning.
-
Engagement and energy → Interactive formats and simulations
-
Perceived value and retention → Masterminds and expert-led workshops
-
Long-term positioning and monetisation → Community strategy and partnership formats
If you are unsure which format fits your community, a short strategy call helps clarify priorities and design the right approach.
