If you are interested on knowing better the benefits from Team Sociommaping here is some ideas

3. Map
► Without a map it is easy to lose sight of your
destination and the best way of getting there.
With a map you can work out where you are,
where you want to go and how to get there.
Suddenly everything becomes clearer because
a map allows you to be ‘above the path’.

4. Method
► Combination of the words:
„above a path„ (meta hodos) = method
► By connecting the words ‘above’ and ‘path’
(metha hodos), there emerged at some point
the word methodos or method. If you have a
method, you can save time, money and energy
and ultimately reach your objectives with much
greater certainty.

5. Geting lost
► Get lost in real space vs. get lost in difficult
situations/unclear relationships
► A person doesn’t just get lost in real space. He or
she can also lose their way in difficult situations,
where there are just too many interconnected
relationships, about which he or she is unaware
of, or cannot sufficiently get to grips with.

6. Change - like the weather
► Each situation may change - like the weather
► Even more difficult is the fact that every human
situation – unlike real space – is constantly
changing and developing, just like the weather.
In such situations we ask ourselves new questions.
Where are things headed, and what can we do
about it?

7. Where things evolve? How can
we influence?
► Inferring group dynamics from information gathered about
the personal characteristics of each individual team member
is not easy. It is useful to understand how different personal
styles and personalities within the team fit together. However,
to establish group dynamics, it is important to reveal the
mutual bonds between team members and not focus on
individual characteristics such as personality or ability. The
results obtained by a sports team are not decided by the
individual performances of separate players, but by how they
play together, by team co-operation

8. As we need to orient in space /
we need to in relations
► In the same way we need to orientate ourselves
in real space, so we must orientate ourselves in
interpersonal relationships. We need to
understand how people communicate, co-
operate, how they can maximize, each other’s
strengths as well as canceling out or removing
dysfunctional behaviour.

9. What we want to influence?
If we consider the fact that these bonds vary much
more markedly than the characteristics of individual
people, and that these bonds mutually influence one
another, we arrive at two important conclusions.
Rather than influence the characteristics of people
within a team, we can influence their mutual bonds in
the desired direction. As a result of the complexity of
social networks, however, it is not easy to fathom what
is important to influence, what to support and what to
prevent, in order that a team might function at its
best.

10. It is very difficult to change the individual.
Much easier to adjust the co-operation.
In simple words...

11. Sociomapping is a
method that allows
you to navigate the
social systems
In one sentence...

12. Visualization of the data
Sociomapping attempts to transfer the relationships
found in small social groups and organizations into
a map of mutual relationships, from which in just a
short time we are able to glean information about
mutual bonds.

13. The benefits
► The method of
Sociomapping provides
a way of considering
teams and organizations
as a whole. The
representation of
relationships using a
map increases our
social sensibility, and
enables us to think
about teams
strategically.

14. The benefits
► Sociomaps alert and focus the user towards areas
that are intangible for the majority of people, and
seldom given much attention.
