Opportunity
Strengthen Value Proposition for Future
Before MTI adopted an online community, it was short on staff, didn’t have an AMS, and its revenue was decreasing. The trade association needed to update its value proposition dramatically to thrive again. That’s where the value of communities came in.
Strategy
Engage Members Year-Round Online
MTI harnessed online community to bring members together, recognizing that heat-treating specialists should be able to connect year-round, instead of just one time a year at an event. By allowing heat-treating specialists of varying expertise and career stages to learn from each other and maximize industry knowledge, MTI positioned membership as vital to their success. MTI’s members can post questions, concerns, or comments and get feedback overnight from the entire membership base.

“We’ve used technology, including our online community, our learning management system, and our benchmarking database to empower our members, help them do more for themselves, connect with them, and expand services without expanding staff. We’ve turned MTI around.”
