How is the concept of online community evolving in 2025? At TalentLed, we’ve been reflecting on how different types of communities are reshaping industries and human collaboration. Whether it's driving innovation through coordinated research efforts or rethinking digital spaces where creators and contributors are valued, communities are stepping into a more central role across sectors. These shifts hold deep implications for talent acquisition, entrepreneurship, and beyond. That’s why we’re proud that our co-founders, Ilker Akansel and Todd Nilson, along with our Chief Ethics Officer, Mirella Ang de Jonge, contributed their insights to Bri Leever’s upcoming #community trends report for 2025. Together, they’ve explored how evolving technology, new economic models, and professional community leadership are redefining how we connect, collaborate, and innovate. Look for the full report this Thursday! #community #talentstrategy #digitaltransformation #innovation #futureofwork
