BSN Open Night connections

This network map shows the connections between some organisations attending the Big
Society Network Open Night event on July 6 2010 - those that returned questionnaire
forms which asked “ who do you work with most?”
The map divides into two:
•Organisations connected into a wider network (left)
•Clusters that do not connect to the wider network (below)
Organisations that are most central to the wider network are shown shaded and their
centrality scores are shown in a shaded box above and to the right of each node.
The mapping was an experiment to show how the technique might be used to identify key
connectors, and where to focus network building.
The event was organised at short notice, and not all those attending filled in
questionnaires, so the results should be seen as an example of what might be achieved
through a more substantial mapping exercise.
