Louise Clifton, Programmes
Manager at Heart of the City, shares how
the LCCI Community App has helped her to stay tuned into the Chamber’s
community. Her role is to support SMEs to embed a responsible business approach
and realise the benefits for their people, place and planet that this can
bring. Heart of the City supports SMEs to be a force for good.
What was your first impression
of the LCCI Community App?
The app has been an excellent
way to stay tuned into the Chamber’s community and learn first-hand what the
successes and challenges are that London businesses are experiencing (something
which has been changing rapidly since the app first launched.) The community
has grown so much since I first joined, and it has been great to see it evolve.
What have you found you like the
most about the Community App?
The expertise that’s on hand,
immediately. You see threads of conversations where people have shared ideas,
contributed to one another’s events and initiatives. This enrichment is unique
and incredibly helpful.
Do you have a favourite feature
on the Community App and why?
The thematic groups have been
really helpful to read and engage with what you’re most interested in. For me,
as a contributor, the Environment, Sustainability and Green Growth Committee,
this channel has been really relevant to my needs and staying closely connected
to news and events in this area from London businesses, influencers and
leaders.
Have you been able to connect
with Members and the Community Network on the app?
I’ve met new people through
their posts and have come across new and interesting events that have been
posted. You can get easily -and happily - stuck into threads and follow up
directly with members.
Share with us how the app has
benefitted you so far?
The app has been brilliant at
helping Heart of the City share targeted resources and events around net zero
and the wider responsible business piece both really quickly and directly to
the people they are designed for.
What has made the new Community
App stand out for you?
The app has really helped plug
a gap because of its focus on London and the unique business ecosystem here.
Content is relevant, meaningful and helpful.
