December 2: The NetWorkshop: Social and Value Network Analysis

The NetWorkShop offers a new perspective – a network lens – that sheds light on how human networks are structured and how technologies can enhance our ability to collaborate and co-create. For facilitators, it offers possibilities of new ways of thinking about client work as well as leadership coaching. This workshop provides a clear presentation of basic network concepts, including:

  • Reflective exercises in creating and interpreting network maps of relationships (organizational and personal) using network concepts
  • An introduction to value networking analysis, with a focus on mapping roles and deliverables (gives and gets) in an organizational ecosystem
  • A short overview of how social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) is altering the landscape of how people create and work in networks.

Presenter: Patti Anklam is an independent consultant who helps organizations work more effectively through collaborative networks.
