Expectations

You were expecting to find staff, board, history, and other typical About things?


That would be relevant, if looking at organizations, but what if you’re looking at networks?


Viewing Networks requires new frameworks


Expectations change >> unlike staff and boards, networks can’t be easily viewed on web pages

Network frameworks

A network as simple as your network on LinkedIn >> No way to visually present even 1,000 connections

 

Much less 20,000…
 

And your LinkedIn network is a career network -- Most people don’t design it to do work


Other than hiring when you’re in charge, and finding (a job) when your not.

 
So how would you visualize a "designed to do work Network?"

Visualization

Phase 1

Identify the outcomes, outputs, and destinations


Get visibility on early tasks to move forward


Identify the areas where visibility is lacking


Identify your network connected to leaders performing tasks >> creating these outcomes 


Identify networks that are likely designed to do additional needed work


Identify the networks that could connect you with those inaccessible networks


Visualize the combined networks >> Build network consortiums

Leaders and Nodes

Networks don’t have any staff they have leaders and nodes


How do leaders become Nodes — By creating powerful networks doing specific work


Networks doing relevant work well = more invites to join powerful networks

Commitment and Living

In organizations it’s all about that full time commitment and focus….


In networks it’s all about breadth and visibility —Can you see what others can’t?


People who see, don’t focus — they discover and map, innovate and aggregate, etc. 


Over time discovering — living as a network,


These leaders seldom go back to organizational life


And thank goodness they don’t, what they can do few others can

What they can see, few others see
