In many situations, a network of relationships exist
between various entities

   A group of   ...exist in a network
    people...       of interaction




                                            !




                                          C12 Solutions
By mapping the network, we can begin to explore
the properties of certain relationships


                    Map colored
                     by gender




                                       Note where
                                        gender is
                                      concentrated

                                          !




                                       C12 Solutions
Further insight can be obtained by examining
併connectivity兵


                                        The size of
                                         the circle
                                       denotes the
                                        individual
                                         nodes of
                                       connectivity




                                           !




                                        C12 Solutions
The network can be used to identify 併ego兵 and
併faction兵 groups...




      Michael兵s               Three factions within the
     ego network              entire network (identi鍖ed
                                      by color)

                                              C12 Solutions
So how might you use this information?



     Steve may be at risk                                     Holly兵s and Russ兵s
      of being inundated                                   commitment might be key
     by other兵s requests                                     if communicating or
      (depending on his                                       instigating change
             role)




                              There may be bene鍖t in
                             having Gery and Pat work
                            or receive training together
                                in order to develop a
                                    stronger link                 !




                                                               C12 Solutions
The technique can be used in more complex
networks...




                                        !

Let兵s assume that this network map depicts a
certain type of humanitarian aid...




                                     We can use the map to
                                   explore different scenarios
                                         or identify risk




                                  Example: What if a country
   Node size denotes level of       ceased to provide aid?

                                          C12 Solutions
Examining different scenarios...

      With US aid                        US ceases aid




                              The 併aid兵 network is redistributed and
                              other nations become more important
                                                  !

Network mapping has been used in a number of
different areas...

    Team building
    Locating expertise                 Network vulnerability assessment
    Workforce diversity                Community economic development
    Organization design                Discovering communities of practice
    Inter-network design               Analyzing protein interaction
    Diffusion of innovations            networks
    Post-merger integration            Mapping and measuring information
    Investigative journalism            鍖ow
    Knowledge management               Uncloaking corruption and indirect
    Leadership development              quid pro quo
    Mapping terrorist networks         Contact tracing in contagious disease
    Industry ecosystem analysis
    Discovering key opinion leaders


             ...and can provide valuable insight to complex
                                 situations if used correctly
