Social Network Mapping – What is it?

• Network mapping and analysis is a process for visualizing and interpreting connections within a group so that the group itself, and therefore its work and effectiveness, may be strengthened.

• Network analysis can also help a group explore options for adapting to a changing environment. Connections, strengths, and weaknesses are made visible, helping answer many key questions in the collaboration community-building process

Answer Key Questions:

• Are the right connections in place? • Are any key connections missing?• Who are the people playing leadership roles in

the community?• Who are not, but could be?

Network Mapping in Leeds and Grenville

• Partnered with Health Nexus to create a baseline ‘snapshot’ of the current levels of connection within Every Kid in our Communities.– Specifically

• On-line Survey completed June – July 2014• Data supplied to HN• HN used innovative technology and mapping

software to create network maps

Network Mapping – How Does it Work?

• Network analysis software is used to produce maps and numeric tables.

• Maps are analyzed – Analysis provided by HN• Members can be surveyed again (after time) and

re-mapped to see differences. • Over time, network analysis can help a group to

demonstrate its growth, development and functional effectiveness.
