Communities are the heart of any enterprise social network (ESN). From initial launch, staff should be encouraged to start groups they see value in. Not all will survive, but a key indicator of ESN success is the growth in community activity overall. The Community Growth report is available at the Enterprise level. It monitors the growth in classes of communities i.e. internal communities; public and private and external communities; public and private. It is common for organisations to focus initially on internal communities, before starting to accommodate external communities. Some organisations have a strategy to maximise the use of public communities, in the name of increasing transparency. This report can help monitor progress on a strategy like this.
