Over the years cooperatives have learned to design, test and consolidate various governance models. They have defined their social policies by anticipating the dynamics characterizing the current community management processes and have consolidated relational policies with local communities.

In order to be able to fully satisfy its users’ needs and be competitive, a digital cooperative platform must rely on a community that is vast, lively and oriented toward sustainable development. This community must be managed by means of a democratic governance, guided by clear and precise rules. The cooperative platforms can count on a further key competitive advantage: the value of their own members.

Cooperative members will determine the mutual digital exchange, the feeling of belonging to an onlife community, the ability to adapt to change.
