Howspace for community and network building

Howspace is a collaborative learning & development platform that’s perfect for involving and engaging people at scale.

Whether you’re connecting internal or external stakeholders, Howspace helps you seamlessly facilitate and grow communities and networks – from purpose-built engagements around learning initiatives or change projects to lasting communities that enable practical peer support at scale.

Depending on your needs, you can facilitate individual communities with Howspace Platform only, or manage your whole whole portfolio – including training programs – easily with our management add-on.

Build a transparent and safe space for people to freely share best practices, ideate, and learn together

  • Intentional design: Create an environment with content and purpose, so participants are focused on the right elements at the right time. 
  • Seamless knowledge sharing: Break down silos and facilitate knowledge sharing effortlessly. Enable your people to contribute, discuss, and learn from each other, ensuring real-time and continuous knowledge sharing.
  • Valuable encounters: Through forums built on Howspace, members from all over can meet each other virtually, get peer support, and share best practices.

Ensure your organization is more participatory, digital, fresh, and inclusive

  • Modern, agile operations: Reduce costs and save time by adopting more agile and paperless methods, such as virtual and/or hybrid meetings, to enable faster response to changes.
  • Greater representation: Give every individual a voice and an open, intentional space to make that heard.
  • More meaningful connections: Invite everyone and make sure they can contribute to the right things at the right time. Creating a noiseless place for people to easily contribute is vital.

Provide tech that is easy-to-use and accessible with the most basic digital skills

  • Intuitive and easy-to-use: Everyone can join in discussions with basic digital skills — no need for external technical support.
  • Seamless accessibility: Make important information and content accessible with just one click, eliminating the need for domain-specific accounts. 
  • Secure knowledge repository: Store your organization’s valuable information and resources securely.

What our customers say about us

“I need an environment where I can meet and communicate with members remotely. Doing this asynchronously is also very important; we don’t have to be online simultaneously, yet the information still flows and is accessible. In other words, without Howspace, I wouldn’t have easy access to members and activists all over Finland.”

Sanna Pihakivi, JHL’s Expert on Professional Activities, Education and Guidance

“With the help of Howspace, we were able to produce material that was distinctly different to anything we had done previously. In addition, we were able to make our values visible in our operations. The strategy work was a genuinely good example of what we always aim for, which is to be inclusive, listen to our members and meet their needs. This achievement will certainly be reflected in our operations in the future.”

Juha Makkonen, Development Manager at OAJ

“Howspace served its purpose perfectly. Online participation is demanding and requires courage, but the platform worked very well for us. Even during the last month, almost 70% the total number of participants were involved in the Howspace work”

Heini Hult-Miekkavaara, Senior Specialist (Career, Training and Competence Services) at YKA.
