Guest post on designing web-based communities for professionals

We are pleased to contribute a post about design to Leader Networks' blog, Building Online Communities for Business. We've worked with Vanessa on a few projects, and it is always a pleasure. Vanessa's interest in and knowledge of communities of practice pre-dates the web. She's translated her expertise on the topic from the offline world to the online world, well, expertly.

Our LN post is geared towards an executive audience and is based on what we've learned from several projects: a partner site for MIT's Center for Transportation and Logistics, an invitation-only community for executives in the wireless industry, password-protected sites for business managers and technical clients of ATG software, and an internal community for ATG employees all over the world.
