Community design
Community design can be used to create and develop communities. Families, school groups, groups of friends, sports teams, work teams, housing associations, clans and nations are all communities that have structures and operating models, and can therefore be purposefully designed and developed.
Our innovative community design approach uses creative methods, gamification and bold imagination. Through them, the community can be viewed as an object, or even a work of art, into which unique, inspiring and personal qualities can be shaped. Our approach enables us to design community structures and practices in a more creative, detailed and structured way than has been customary until now.
The objects of community design are, above all, the structure and composition of the community, as well as its diverse practices, principles, rules and roles. Communities are different and may function in many ways - some communities desire deep and rich interaction, while for others practical functionality and smooth coexistence are more important.
Our innovative community design offers tools for all kinds of community needs.

We have developed a comprehensive toolkit for designing and developing communities. The innovative community planning process we offer starts with sociological analyses, surveys and surveys. Based on the survey, we tailor the most suitable community-building methods for the community. We also aim to provide communities with tools that can help them continue to develop their operations better than before.
Common focuses of community design:
- Designing interaction structures and practices for the community
- Identifying and effectively deploying community resources
