How Social Network Analysis Can Help You
We help companies and communities to understand their social networks, manage people risk better and add value through better people connections.
Put simply, we help you to connect & work together better.
We do this by developing social networks for better performance. It's quick and easy - in 3 simple steps we can help you to know, map & build a better human network - one that is more robust and both more efficient and effective.
The process we use is social network analysis (SNA) and social network optimisation (SNO), using social graphs in the form of network maps.
Social networks can be optimised to improve operational risk management; Gen Y engagement, talent management, leadership development, sharing best practice, knowledge flow, building staff support networks and more.
Before & After Social Network Development using MindNet But in difficult trading times, managing current risk is not always enough. More than ever, we need to not just manage costs but add value. Optimised social networks add value through improving; collaboration, team working, information sharing, innovation, and leadership decision making. Good human networks also make organisations more robust in the event of attack or unplanned provocation...
Our innovative tools, maps & workshops are used and valued in both external membership organisations, communities and within the corporate sector.
Mapping and visualising social networks starts from as little as £15 per person.
Founded in 1997, our SNA programmes since 2005 have been used by communities, start-ups and FTSE 100 companies alike who have described our workshops and mapping as , "eye-opening" and "leading edge", and the whole process as " powerful stuff" representing "excellent value".

What is a social network anyway? On-line social network sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Linked-In etc are new and popular channels for social networking - connecting to groups with common interests. At the social network company we do not build on-line social networks per se (although these may be part of a solution mix for improving social networking).
There are 5 or more ways to optimise social networks of which technology fixes are just one.
There are 24 types of real world social network - from hierarchies, formal networks, informal or operational, strategic, personal. These networks can also be internal to companies or external.
Life is not simple - an individual's social networks are often nested, interconnect and overlap with other networks. Understanding these varied social networks and managing them unlocks huge hidden value in organisations.
It's who you know...Important social networks within companies and across communities are often informal and unrecognised, yet they are often more important than official titles and structures - After all, it's who you know (& who you trust) that drives performance - not just what you know.
But how can you manage who you know effectively? SNA and SNO can help dramatically improve network effectiveness.
