What is the Community Impact Wheel?

Community members are at the heart of every association. To keep your organisation healthy and functioning effectively, you need to make sure that their needs are heard and taken care of.

The Community Impact Wheel enables associations of any size to establish their members’ priorities for the association and evaluate how it has succeeded so far. The Wheel shows each member their input in the context of the broader community feedback, as well as the priorities of the board and executives. The interactivity of the tool attracts a higher proportion of responses, equipping you to make data-driven strategic decisions and allocate resources according to the community's needs.

By transforming traditional surveys from passive, one-way tools into a dynamic conversation between individual members, the community, and leadership, the Community Impact Wheel helps you understand member desires and pain points, enabling you to better care for and strengthen your community.

Dovetail Creative

We are in the middle of large-scale restructuring of our membership engagement activities and are looking for technologies to support us with that. Our challenge is to engage a very large number of people all over the world, but I can see that our membership would like the way the Community Impact Wheel works.

What people say

I look forward to using the tool! This will be so useful to use when we poll our members so they can see their priorities in comparison to the rest of the federation!

What people say

We have both an immediate need for a survey tool for a small cohort and a longer-term requirement, and are considering integrating the Community Impact Wheel as a companion to SurveyMonkey where we run our larger annual membership surveys.

What people say

The Community Impact Wheel really helped to elevate the quality of conversation at our Council Workshop, revealing areas we had not previously clearly seen, and sparking discussions that we had not had before.

What people say

I think the Community Impact Wheel it’s great. I have had really positive responses from those I have shown it to. The real time feedback is very popular with the younger members of the society.
