About the Client

EO Atlanta is a chapter of the Entrepreneurs' Organization, a global network of business owners. Members meet in small peer groups called forums: confidential groups of entrepreneurs who meet regularly to support each other. Each forum has to be balanced by industry, company size, experience and personal fit, and it has to stay healthy over time.

The Challenge

Forums were formed and managed by hand, across spreadsheets, emails and separate lists kept by different people.

Creating a balanced forum took a lot of manual work, and grouping mistakes were easy to make.
Moderators and committees each worked from their own copy of the data, so information was often out of date.
The chapter team couldn't see which forums were healthy and which needed attention until problems had already grown.
As the chapter grew, the manual process didn't scale.

My Solution

I built Chapter OS, a web platform where the whole chapter team works from the same live data. Admins use guided tools to place members into balanced forums. Moderators and committees see exactly what their role needs. A forum health view shows engagement and survey response rates, so the team can act early instead of reacting late.
