CUSTOM COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS

Communities Don’t All Look the Same.

Some communities are built around a place.

Others around a profession, organization, mission, program, shared interest, experience, or need.

Redstring designs flexible community environments around the people, relationships, knowledge, resources, services, and purpose that bring a community together.

When a standard approach isn’t enough, we shape the community architecture, technology, workflows, and experience around what your organization is trying to accomplish.

Build Around the Purpose—Not the Software.

Redstring community network connecting people through place, profession, organizations, missions, programs, shared interests, experiences, and needs.

COMMUNITY CAN BEGIN ALMOST ANYWHERE

What Brings People Together?

A community may begin with geography.

It may begin with an organization and the people it serves.

It may grow from a profession, industry, mission, shared experience, program, cause, or common interest.

Some communities are primarily physical. Others are digital. Many increasingly exist across both.

What changes is the environment.

What remains is the need to connect people, relationships, knowledge, resources, and purpose.

CONFIGURED AROUND WHAT MATTERS

Start With the Community You Are Trying to Create.

Redstring does not require every community to operate the same way.

Instead, the environment can be configured around the people, relationships, knowledge, resources, services, participation, and outcomes that matter most.

Who should participate?

Identify the people, groups, organizations, partners, and stakeholders whose involvement is important to the community’s purpose and success.

What relationships matter?

Focus on the connections that should be strengthened, created, or made easier—between people, organizations, programs, resources, and sources of expertise.

What do people need to find, know, share, or accomplish?

Design the environment around the information, knowledge, resources, actions, and outcomes people need most often.

What programs, services, and resources already exist?

Bring existing programs, services, tools, and resources into the community so they are easier to discover, access, and connect.

What knowledge and expertise should become easier to discover?

Make valuable experience, subject-matter knowledge, local insight, and specialized expertise more visible and accessible across the community.

What kinds of participation and collaboration should be encouraged?

Shape the community to support the behaviors that matter—sharing, learning, volunteering, problem-solving, mentoring, collaboration, or collective action.

What outcomes matter to the community?

Define the results the community is intended to produce, then align participation, resources, services, and measurement around those outcomes.

The result is not simply a collection of features.

It is a community environment shaped around its purpose.

CONNECT WHAT MAY ALREADY BE THERE

Your Community May Already Have More Than You Realize.

Organizations often already have many of the ingredients needed to build a valuable community:

People

A community becomes more valuable when the right people can find one another, participate, contribute, and build relationships across roles that may not otherwise connect.

Programs & Services

Existing programs and services often have more reach and impact when they are easier to discover, understand, access, and connect with related resources and people.

Knowledge & Expertise

Important knowledge is often scattered across individuals, documents, departments, and organizations. A connected community makes that expertise easier to find, share, and reuse.

Relationships

Much of a community’s value lives in the connections between people and organizations. Making those relationships more visible can strengthen collaboration, referrals, coordination, and trust.

Needs & Opportunities

Communities become more useful when people can surface needs, discover resources, identify opportunities, and connect with others who can help move something forward.

Redstring RS SourceHub connected community framework linking people, organizations, resources, expertise, programs, services, knowledge, relationships, needs, and opportunities.

Redstring helps connect those elements within a shared environment where they become easier to discover, access, use, share, and build upon.

FROM POSSIBILITY TO PRACTICAL USE

Different Communities. Different Priorities.

Redstring brings people, knowledge, resources, services, and technology together in different ways depending on what the community is trying to accomplish.

Geographic and residential community connecting neighbors with local activities, organizations, services, knowledge, and resources where they live.
Affinity and shared-interest community creating connections through relationships, participation, knowledge exchange, activities, collaboration, and shared experiences.
Professional and industry community connecting expertise, mentoring, education, relationships, knowledge, opportunities, and resources across a profession or field.
Program and service community connecting participants with one another and with the knowledge, resources, support, and opportunities surrounding an existing program or service.
Nonprofit and mission community bringing together supporters, volunteers, programs, partners, beneficiaries, resources, and knowledge around a shared mission.
Business and organizational ecosystem connecting customers, clients, partners, suppliers, professionals, programs, services, and knowledge within a broader relationship network.

A STRONGER COMMUNITY TOGETHER

When people are connected, communities are stronger.

Redstring helps turn relationships, knowledge, and resources into a more engaged,

resilient, and opportunity-rich community.

NETWORKED COMMUNITIES

Communities can also connect with other Redstring communities through the RS Network—sharing selected people, programs, services, knowledge, and resources while maintaining their own governance and autonomy.

THE SHARED REDSTRING FOUNDATION

One Architecture. Many Possibilities.

Built on a Common Foundation.

Different community solutions can be built on the same underlying Redstring architecture.

Redstring can be deployed in several ways, including:

YOUR COMMUNITY

What Could Become Possible If More of What You Already Have Were Connected?

  • You may already have the people

  • You may already have the programs and services.

  • You may already have the knowledge.

  • You may already have the relationships.

  • You may already have the resources and capabilities

The opportunity may be in bringing them together differently.

Redstring helps create an environment where existing assets become more connected, visible, and useful—creating new possibilities for the people and organizations they serve.

Connect People. Knowledge. Relationships. Purpose.
