The Rise of GROWTH Communities
Many organizations have experimented with “communities of practice.” While valuable, they often become too rigid, too formal, or too narrowly focused. In today’s fragmented workplace, people don’t just need another knowledge-sharing forum — they need spaces where they feel connected and engaged.
As organizations adopt AI at scale, the risk is that individuals become more efficient but less connected. Conversations shrink into prompts. Collaboration narrows into transactions. Teams are spread across geographies, functions, and digital platforms. The workplace starts to feel fragmented — people are busy, but not necessarily connected.
What we’re building at C-Shift is something different.
We call them Communities of Growth. These are small, dynamic groups designed not only to share expertise, but to strengthen connection and resilience in a fragmented workplace. Their purpose is to:
- Build cross-functional bonds that combat organizational silos
- Spark progressive thinking and innovation
- Provide a safe space for experimentation and reflection
- Reinforce belonging through shared purpose and human-first dialogue
Unlike traditional structures, Communities of Growth aren’t another governance layer. They’re a framework that is implemented and designed to nurture the human.
If you would like support in building these frameworks within your organization, connect by setting up a meeting with C-Shift
