This post originally appeared on the Associations Now Leadership Blog on March 28, 2013. In Part I of this series earlier this month, I identified the associationvalue gap as an underlying structural problem within membership-centric business models. This is most important conversation your association will have.
Innovation is a difficult strategy for any organization past the startup phase to adopt, and associations are no exception. When association executives talk about innovation, we talk about the possibility and how much more we can help members. We want to innovate, but we may be afraid to get started.
Too many associations are burdened with vague, cluttered notions of what their core purpose might be — rather than a deep understanding of what their reason for existing actually is. These tips will help you nurture a purpose-driven culture within your association. Value inspiration over explanation.
This kind, curious, sometimes overenthusiastic band of individuals came up with solutions, products, services, ideas, and experiences that no one of us could have devised on our own. Related: Soon it will be time for association leaders to envision the future. Effective association to innovativeassociation at light speed.
Building sustainable business models depends on association leaders adopting a 21st-century sensibility as they imagine and co-create new forms of value in collaboration with their stakeholder networks. This is most important conversation your association will have. Are you ready to get started?
Additionally, you could suggest a “freemium” community membership for potential members to showcase the value of joining your association.

I’ll be happy to feature it as long as it’s not product-centric. Frieda Klotz (moderator), journalist covering health, culture, and business innovation.

Associations face an increasingly competitive market for members, attendees, and education. Time was, the associationvalue proposition was pretty simple: “We’re the only ones who care about you.” Experts recommend finding a “superpower”—and building a culture that supports it.
Association consulting services that help members get to a solution faster. Association agency services that help members with time-consuming media and content production. Or what about an association service that helps members connect with just the right member.
W e are increasingly rely ing on mobile devices and apps to get the products and services that we need in our lives. Understanding how each channel provides your associationvalue in making those connections with members, potential prospects and the general public will help grow your revenue. .
While solving the problem we may find we are innovating new programs, content, products and services. When we launch these new innovations we improve that value equation. If our innovations are indeed the solutions young members need to solve their problems word will travel.
The product – is the thing you are trying to market. Most times the problem with our marketing is in the story and/or the product. Related: Storytelling is the new association marketing. It can be membership, the conference, a guide, a research report, a chapter meeting or a call for volunteers. Start here first.
Nowhere else could you access new products, information, key industry data and a vast network of people to help you succeed in your industry. Associations had a built-in set of "golden handcuffs" for value because the internet did not exist as it does today. It was a must.
And then a lot of times what’s highlighted is that associations are risk averse, and they’re unwieldy. And it’s very difficult to maneuver and innovate the way that we want to. So content is really important evaluating in the value proposition? How are you providing value through your content and has have those needs changed?
Have you ever noticed that members often do not do what we think they should do? They want to establish a new group on the online community, and then no one participates. They say they want a course but no on registers. We offer them a discount designed to drive sales, but there is no boost.
