Case-study Joint Authorities Group (UK)
The UK wide Joint Authorities Group has members from every local authority in the country. Communication between this disparate community was paramount to the effective working of the organisation.
The Strategy
To create an on-line community that could meet the information needs of the hundreds of organisations participating in the JAG(UK) organisation as contributors and recipients.
