Network Mapping
Useful When?
• When you want to understand the nature of a network (e.g. size, or connec;vity) and how that is changing over ;me
• When you want to make strategic decisions about where to intervene in a network, or with whom
• When you are stewarding the development of a network to advance shared objec;ves
• When change occurs beyond the scope of any one organiza;on or program
• When you want to understand the benefit of learning across organiza;ons
Steps
1.Articulating your theories about networks, and
intentions with the network
2.Deciding on the evaluative questions
3.Capturing data about nodes, relationships,
what is happening in the network, and the
impact of this
4.Mapping data (analog or digital)
5.Drawing conclusions about the network
1. Innovation = learning x diverse connections
2. Influence = credibility x location
3. Network growth = introductions x generosity
*Source:Valdis Krebs & June Holley
1.Do people in the network gain broader and deeper awareness of the
available assets in the network?
2.Do people in the network gain broader and deeper awareness of
potential new collaborators and co-conspirators in the network?
3.Do people in the network spend more time introducing people to one
another who are 2+ steps away from each other in the network?
4.Do people in the network discover more new opportunities to engage
and combine their assets to create a future different from the past?
5.Do people in the network become more self-organizing? Innovative?
Inclusive? Strengths-based? Dedicated to working together?

Strengths & Limita;ons
Strengths
• Provides evalua;ve data at a systems level
• Can reveal strategic points of interven;on
• Highly visual and interac;ve form of data
Limita;ons
• Can present a high data collec;on burden on network par;cipants
• Can driL from prac;cal, useful ques;ons into intellectual curiosity
• Many of the soLware packages require comfort with technology
