Looking to spark a conversation, share insights, or get other members' thoughts on a hot topic? Starting an open-ended discussion is a great way to learn, connect, and collaborate with others across the Advania Community.
Here are some tips to make your discussion stand out:
1. Start with a strong title 💪
Make it clear and inviting! Instead of “Thoughts?”, try “How are others approaching sustainability in their IT strategy?”
2. Add some context to your post 💬
Why are you posting? What inspired the topic? A bit of background will help others understand where you’re coming from and encourages them to join in.
3. Keep it engaging ⚡️
Use short paragraphs, questions, or bullet points to make your post easy to read. You don’t need to write a novel or expand just for the sake of it, but make sure you have the key information for others to jump in and get the conversation going.
4. Invite others to participate 🤗
End with a question or prompt - this will help direct the conversation:
“Curious how others are approaching this, what has worked for you?”
“Is this something your team’s thinking about too?”
5. Post in the right place & tag your post 🏷️
Choose the most relevant category to make sure your discussion reaches the right audience. Can't find one that fits? Post it in the category that is closely related to your topic and tag your discussion accordingly. This will help others find your discussion.
Let’s get talking! Don't be hesitant to share what's on your mind - it doesn't have to be a big topic, even the most simple ideas or thoughts can spark great conversations and help other peers!
