There was an interesting conversation on the actkm list last week about "gaming an SNA." I thought it would be of interest to this group (those who do not...
Thanks for this Patti. As I was reading through it, I started to wonder how the practice of social network analysis sets into motion the forces that change...
Interesting comment Ed. I must say that at the end of doing an ONA exercise and then meeting some of the participants later, I felt a little like I was meeting...
Laurie, I think thisis an interesting point. How many organisations explicitly teach network competencies to their new joiners? And whilst getting a new joiner...
I think astute networkers informally do this anyway, they just don't map it. They would be asking people "whos who in the zoo". I agree that a good practice...
Thought that this as an interesting read. Does anyone have any other info on BSN? Best Buy social networking site a model for big firms Monday, May 05, 2008 ...
... Why does everybody assume the goal of gaming an SNA audit has to be to increase their apparent centrality? What if an individual wants to -decrease- it?...
Tim, The original question I posted was about the influence one person could have on the results. There was no assumption as to the goal they were trying to...
Dear friends, a large companies is about to analyse its information flows in order to identify the informal information brokers. The company include some 400...
Giancarlo, You CAN do a roster survey of 400... divide them up by department/ location and then alphabetically within the dept. We have done this and it works...
Valdis, Giancarlo, I know I probably butt in far to early being a freshman on this group How about using the companies computer mediated communication (cmc)...
Yeah, proxies are fine if they help answer your question. But often management wants to know specific things and therefore ask specific questions. Proxies...
There are email tools which can help answer at least some of Valdis' questions. They aren't so automated yet that you can just press one magic button and get...
Hi Peter If you add DPI (deep packet inspection) to the email content you can conduct some very interesing job related social and ego net analysis. We are...
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will probably ask both symmetric (whom are exchanging information about ...) and asymmetric (whom do you go to to...
Hi all, Did you know about the plugin for Excel which can analyse your own emails? http://cid-ae935b3cde8015dd.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Excel% ...

Dear All, I am looking for some information and materials on the correlation between being main info source in the network (based on high indegree) and main...

Andy -- thanks for sharing that post regarding individual personalities in relation to network scores. Mehra had a good article on personality and network...
Hello, I'm starting an analysis on a consulting firm (about 300 people across 5 offices). The purpose is to determine the nature of connectedness within and ...

And to get email data, you may have an I/T dept to deal with that is not responsive... email often sounds like a good quick solution, but as LLL mentions below...
