Network Mapping

The first step in Network Weaving is mapping the existing networks in your organization/community/region.

� What are our strengths?
� What are our weaknesses?
� Where are the disconnects?
� Who are the Connectors?
� Who are the Mavens?
� Who is in the clusters?
� How open/closed is our network?
� How have we progressed since last year?

Just like doctors use x-rays and CAT scans to see, and make sense of, what is happening in the complex human organism, we use network x-rays to map and measure what is happening in complex human communities like organizations, industries and regional economies.
