This document summarizes a workshop on social networks and network weaving. The workshop introduced concepts of networks and their benefits for social change. Participants learned about characteristics of healthy networks and the role of network weavers. The goals of the workshop were to help participants work with a network mindset and understand network theory. Participants provided input on topics for future learning community sessions focused on network mapping and applying network weaving practices to address local issues in Monterey County.
A high-level overview of social network analysis, providing background on how it came into the knowledge management field. Includes an example and core concepts pertinent to the audience, online community managers.
Power no longer resides exclusively (if at all) in states, institutions, or large corporations. It is located in the networks that structure society. Social network analysis seeks to understand networks and their participants and has two main focuses: the actors and the relationships between them in a specific social context.
Finding The Voice of A Virtual Community of PracticeConnie White
Critical components for a successful Community of Practice (CoP) are that: 1) the community members have a space where their voice can be heard and that, (2) the proper technology is given to them to aid in this effort. We describe a Dynamic Delphi system under development which interprets the group’s voice in the creation of information during the initial start up phases when cultivating a CoP. Community members’ alternatives are explored, justified and debated over periods of time, and best reflect the group’s opinion at any moment in time where collective intelligence will be created from the interactions amongst group members. The system could handle a wide variety of types of decisions reflecting the diversity of goals given a CoP including emergency response actions, prediction markets, lobbying efforts, any sort of problem solving, making investment suggestions, etc. Pilot studies indicate that the group creates a greater number of better ideas. Ongoing studies are described, including applications to emergency management planning and response. They demonstrate that implementing a Dynamic Delphi system will prove conducive for building the initial repertoire of ideas, rules, policies or any other aspect of the community’s ‘voice’ that should be heard, in such a way that the individual voices are juxtaposed in harmony to create a single song.
Social Network Analysis & an Introduction to ToolsPatti Anklam
This presentation was delivered as part of an intense knowledge management curriculum. It covers the basics of network analysis and then goes into the different types of tool that support analyzing networks.
This short set of slides summarizes the characteristics of people who play specific roles in networks. In a social network analysis, people in these roles can be discovered by running mathematical algorithms through the social graphs. But you don't need to be an algorithm to spot some of these people in your networks!

Practical Applications for Social Network Analysis in Public Sector Marketing...Mike Kujawski
Over the past decade there has been a growing public fascination with the complex connectedness of modern society. This has been driven in large part by the wide availability of public digital data produced through our daily interactions on the modern social web. This data can now easily be mined and analyzed to produce valuable and actionable business insights leading to better decision making in nearly every field of practice, especially marketing and communications. In this presentation, Joshua Gillmore and Mike Kujawski introduce the basics of social network analysis and some of the privacy related challenges that this rapidly growing space brings with it. Focus of this deck is on public sector organizations.
By: @mikekujawski and @joshuagillmore
This workshop will introduce some of the main principles and techniques of Social Network Analysis (SNA). We will use examples from organizational and social media-based networks to understand concepts such as network density, diameter, centrality measures, community detection algorithms, etc. The session will also introduce Gephi, a popular program for SNA. Gephi is a free and open-source tool that is available for both Mac and PC computers.
By the end of the session, you will develop a general understanding of what SNA is, what research questions it can help you answer, and how it can be applied to your own research. You will also learn how to use Gephi to visualize and examine networks using various layout and community detection algorithms.

Building Smart Communities through Network Weaving
by Valdis Krebs and June Holley
From the text:
"Communities are built on connections. Better connections usually
provide better opportunities. But, what are better connections, and how do
they lead to more effective and productive communities? How do we build
connected communities that create, and take advantage of, opportunities
in their region or marketplace? How does success emerge from the
complex interactions within communities?
This paper investigates building sustainable communities through improving
their connectivity – internally and externally – using network ties to create economic opportunities. Improved connectivity is created through an iterative process of knowing the network and knitting the network.
A brief introduction to network theory which introduces my COMM 620 MBA class to three different strands of research explaining the context within which digital tools are used.
With the advent of Internet technologies, online communities have proliferated over the last three decades. People from dispersed locations are constantly coming together on virtual spots and are enabled by a wide range of software technologies to share common interests and concerns. With early emergent examples, online communities have received intensive study across various academic disciplines. This presentation aims at introducing the basic framework for understanding the specificities of online communities. The first section tries to construct an understanding of these communities by analysing their components. The second section exposes some of the influence spheres of this new virtual space. electronic media

Editor's Notes
Begin with fun team-building exercise
What is your networks work? What are your burning questions related to networks? What’s a useful tool or resource you’ve come across lately that supports your networks work?
Results of pre-survey
We’re all part of networks… They’ve long been core to social change… And, there deep knowledge of networks resident in the social sector – community building, participatory decision-making
Weaving communities – or net-centric organizing -- is great way to strengthen ties in a community, to increase civic engagement and to nurture healthier communities MAVRAC=Monterey Area Volunteer Administrators Consortium, a group of leaders accountable for managing volunteer programs in organizations with a conservation mission. We talk about Bill Traynor’s work at Lawrence Community Works in the article. The Annie E. Casey Foundation has been supporting similar work across the country through their Making Connections Initiative; Making Connections is 10 year initiative that has been deliberately working to strengthen ties at the neighborhood level. The basic idea: to connect families to economic opportunity, to each other, to public services, and to other kinds of social support. The image here is an example from one of the several communities they’ve been working – Louisville, Kentucky. Residents in Louisville have developed a community network that links residents to one another and to opportunities – like jobs and childcare They now have 2300 members...and impressive results, such as over $4 mil generated in income from job placements through the network
Social media tools and working with a network mindset are making it possible to connect with connect with expertise, leaders, problem solvers that you may not have been able to access otherwise Lots of activity around this using competition models Most famous is Innocentive – which connects solution seekers with a network of problem solvers. Mostly a hub and spokes model – in which the problem solvers aren’t usually talking to one another
Indigenous people from Oaxaca pic from http://www.indigenousfarmworkers.org/index.shtml. There are a number of low-tech networking examples among the Indigenous, nonprofit organizations, schools, city government, and faith-based organizations. This is also happening on listserves and shared workspaces – like Google Groups
This is the work of learning networks or communities of practice The picture is of a community of practice I’ve been working with for the past year – the Network of Network Funders. It’s a group of funders all who are intentionally investing in networks and working to codify and improve their related grantmaking practices. We’ve been meeting together in-person and using an online space on WiserEarth to coordinate and share resources. Build and share knowledge is also what larger more decentralized online models of content co-creation, like Wikipedia, do A new example that I personally love – is a wiki that Packard’s OE program recently launched. They’ve created a resources site where they’re openly sharing resources on organizational and network effectiveness and, by using the wiki format, inviting others to add to and amend. It’s an exciting experiment in working wikily
Network approaches can be a powerful means of motivating people to act and inspiring collective action After years of experience, Kaboom has developed a powerful approach to local communities in building playgrounds. But,they realized they couldn’t achieve nearly the level of impact they aspired to building one playground at a time. So they decided to open source their model – they created a free online DIY kit for playground builds that has empowered more than 6,000 communities to self-organize and build local playgrounds – compared to the 1700 that Kaboom was able to directly engage in building over 15 years. Lots of impressive examples of ‘Mobile Activism’ – SexInfo SF PeaceNet – coalition of Kenyan NGOs created a text messaging ‘nerve center’ for conflict management and prevention. Info on planned and actual attacks among rival groups shared and relayed to mediators in the local communities http://www.unfoundation.org/our-impact/stories-of-impact/health-data-disaster-relief/mobile-activism-make-text-not-war.html?authToken=6a3e0d6c35bad6c722411edc6009181ba411b921
CASP=Community Alliance for Safety and Peace (group of Monterey County community leaders from govt, educ, safety, health, faith-based, and other fields working for peace) Can also share Barr Mystic River network story here
In addition to group brainstorm – a few things to point out: Adapt to changing circumstances Act big without being big Get things done quickly Improve information flow Increase awareness of relationships Increase inclusion & peer interaction across traditional divides Open new resources Expand and support leadership Encourage innovation, collaboration & learning for better outcomes and breakthroughs
Cluster of nodes of the same type show a pocket of close relationships between a set of individuals Hub and spoke network shows reliance on a single individual as the center of a group Links connect two nodes (thickness shows strength of relationship)
42 invited to take survey; 34 responded (81%) and named 98 others. This map shows 132 people, representing 87 different organizations.
92 invited; 55 responded (60%) and named 123 others. This map shows 178 individuals from 93 organizations. Ideal periphery = 3-5x core with diverse background or expertise
73 invited to take survey; 47 responded (65%) and named 119 others. This map shows 168 people, representing 133 different organizations.
You may be taking on multiple of these roles – in particular, weaver, facilitator, tech steward Catalyst : establishes value proposition(s); establishes first links to participants (during ‘knitting the network’ stage). Sponsor : provides resources for knitting, organizing, growing and transitioning / transforming the network. Weaver : works to increase connections among participants; grows the network by connecting to new participants (during ‘knitting the network’ ‘growing the network’ stages). Coach : provides advice as needed, once trust is established and power dynamic is well understood. Participant : participates in the network without assuming discrete leadership role. Assessor : diagnoses network needs.
What do you do as a net weaver that’s working?
Examples of each of these Discussion with participants about what they’d like to experiment with… last bullet esp important Have participants write down what they’re going to do
