Most community strategies are either irrelevant, utopian, impractical, or have no understanding of how communities develop.
To tackle this, we're today releasing the strategy template we use for our own clients. You can download the template here:
http://pillarsummit.com/PSCommunityStrategyTemplate.pdf
Use it, steal it, edit it, whatever...just start using a strategy that's aligned both with the organization and proven community processes.
Also, a reminder you now have 12 days remaining to sign up for The
Pillar Summit's Professional Community Management course. The course

Rich, many thanks for the sharing this - an amazing contribution of IP to the world!
One error in the title of this post though - you used the indefinite article when the definite would have been far more appropriate :-)
