About this course
A workplace community needs more than a calendar of events. This free course connects its purpose and organizational value with member experience, useful measures and a practical plan for continuing the work.
Steve Garguilo guides learners through community foundations, analytics, experience design and leadership. The intended audience includes people leading or supporting communities inside organizations, with no formal prerequisite.

After the overview, the foundations section considers communities of practice, interest, support and social connection. Purpose and value lessons use workbook prompts to clarify the community’s identity and contribution. The analytics section links questions, data, insight and action rather than treating an activity count as sufficient evidence of impact.
Experience design introduces member profiles, interviews, journey mapping and a five-part experience model. Short workbook items cover live experiences, rituals, recruitment, onboarding and online participation. Leadership and recognition lead into a Community Action Plan, with an example and template identified in the outline.
The public curriculum reports 83 minutes and 65 lecture items across eight sections. Many items are brief workbook or resource prompts, not long videos. The description separately mentions six to eight hours of broader learning engagement; that should not be confused with the listed video duration. Reading, activities and planning can add time.
Free documents and spreadsheets can support a purpose statement, a member journey and an action plan without buying community software. For any real workplace project, obtain permission for interviews and use only appropriate member data. The course’s metrics are tools for reflection and planning, not a verified promise of engagement or business results.
