Optimise Your Organisation's Networks
Improve your performance & reduce your costs.
Do more...but with less. How? Optimise.
We can help you to BOTH increase team performance AND decrease your costs by optimising your organisation's social networks; the way your people share, the way they work as teams, collaborate, innovate, the way they support each other and the way they personally interact.
Your organisation's real world social networks impact on your day-to-day performance by directly affecting; collaboration, teamworking, staff morale, staff commitment, retention, absenteeism, innovation, communications and more. Put simply, at The Social Network Co. we help you to connect & work together better.
Not Fast & Dirty but Quick & Easy
In 3 simple steps we can help you to optimise your social networks; First you have to understand how social networks impact on the bottom line, secondly you need a road-map, a visual of your connections and finally you have to know what to do to build a better network - you can begin to stop duplication and begin to close gaps, to connect - not maximally but optimally...increasing productivity and reducing costs.
How Does it Work?
Integral to our optimising process is the use of social network analysis (SNA) - using social graphs in the form of network maps. Online questionnaires lead to mapping which leads to optimised 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 MindNetGood human networks make organisations not just more effective but more robust in the event of attack or unplanned provocation...basically in times of volatility and change - strong networks survive and performance improves. Poor networks fail - gracefully or catastrophically, but poor networks still fail.
Founded in 1997, our optimising 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".

Did You Know There are 24 Types of Real World Social Network?
Social networks can be hierarchies, formal networks, informal, operational, strategic, or personal. These networks can also be internal to companies or external. And of course they can be real world or online. Here at the Social Network Co. we build better real world social networks.
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 optimise who you know effectively?
