A free tool for professional development
I have been running two meet-up groups for just over ten years now, with growing membership of more than 4000 people, mostly in London but open to anyone across the world. They are Fans of Harvard Business Review London and the London entrepreneurial meetup group: we seek to create a community of informed, observant, savvy professionals who want to hone their skills and enhance their ability to make a positive difference in their communities over time.
The main method of communication is the weekly newsletter (except from occasional statutory holidays), which flags up new content that might be useful in the workplace and other professional situations, typically from Harvard Business Review. Needless to say, the magazine is a tried and tested, high-quality and sustainable source of research and insight about organisations, business and management.
The newsletters follow loosely the cycles of publication for each issue, starting with an overview followed by slightly more in-depth engagement with particular articles or clusters of articles that might be of interest to members. They also provide reminders of relevant events.
Opportunities to engage directly include messaging on the meetup platform, email and online meet-ups.
