- 3. Strategic communication Notice the isolation of each of the clusters (hub and spoke patterns) Ex. all communication to the blue cluster must pass through this blue hub Recommendation: intentionally increase communication between clusters
- 4. Highlight champions Notice that some NGOs are in bridging positions: they connect clusters Recommendation: bring these groups together and provide trainings on how to distribute communication and work to the rest of their peers
- 5. Gaps and underrepresentation Few orange and pink NGOs present Is this intentional, desirable? Network map and data can suggest strategic interventions
