BE MVP and Knowledge Executives

Who can I speak to about this these days or have Bentley walked away from both??

Thanks,

  • While this sounds probably very harsh for those rather recently joined here it reflects the long term experience of the most resilient contributors.

    I've been using the Communities and its previous iteration for 20+ years yet I don't have any shiny badges Sob

    In all seriousness though, I don't need a small collection of coloured pixels to reaffirm what knowledge I posses, nor does it make me aware of the same that others have either. The latter is something that you learn over time by being here frequently and reading the content that they post or the help they provide.

    When resilience was the latest buzzword used by the managenent board years ago it was obviously not about helping users facilitating their business to make it more robust. 
    The IPO also appears to have change ways. But not for the better end towards usability. Rather all ‚consolidation‘ is going for the typical short term profit. Going for cheap, maxing the heap.

    MVPs recognised by other companies, such as Microsoft, are invited as speakers to presentations or are encouraged to write for appropriate publications.  Having a non-employee as a speaker or writer indicates the company's willingness to broadcast alternative points of view concerning their technology.  Bentley Systems have never made use of MVPs in such a fashion: we're simply ignored.  I don't think that the sales organisations are aware of the MVP programme.

    As for Knowledge Executives, the best place for that ridiculous moniker is the dustbin of history.

  • Thanks for the update Angela, happy to add some suggestions to the mix.



  • Hi Bear,

    One of the priorities in revamping Bentley Communities also involves revamping our badge and point system. We are working on finding the best way to recognize and reward our top contributors and knowledgeable users. Also, we are looking at completing the program this year but the timelines have yet to be determined. 

    I would love to connect and hear about your thoughts on this.

    Kind Regards, Angela
