Leicester Leicestershire Rutland Relationship Mapping
Identify the organisations in your network Write a list of the organisations with who you interact and are key to your future
success. Plot the names on a relationship map. For example:
What conclusions do you draw?
Are some relationships that are well established that will look after themselves for a while?
Are there some (large bubbles) you need to develop stronger relationships (long lines)?
Make a note of the relationships that need attention
Organisation
Length of this line indicates the closeness of the relationship – the
shorter the line, the stronger the relationship
Size of this bubble indicates the importance of that
organisation in your future success – the bigger the
circle, the more important they are
