Here is another recent article about "lost knowledge" that also mentions the use of SNA. http://www.cio.com.au/index.php?id=1594109736 John Barrett ... From:...
One other thought I meant to share on my own post below. I sat in session 3 last Thursday (many thanks to Bruce, Patty and Valdis for taking your time to...
I'd like to add some comments about the ONA databank, stimulated by Bruce's comments: a.. A viable business model that motivates researchers, consultants, and...
In response to Giancarlo's note on the data bank, I have two comments 1) I totally agree with your comment "I think that only researchers and consultants...
A typical newbie response. It's OK... we were ALL newbies at one time! ;-) You can not make these judgments "out of context" -- comparing the same org over...
Proceed with caution indeed! I am attending an IT conference this week, and sat through a session that urged attendees to "hire people with high centrality!" ...
LOL! We have definitely reached the chaotic buzz stage of SNA/ONA with all sorts of charlatan's making up marketing slogans. Hey Patti, this may be a leading...

Dear All, I have been enjoying reading your posts. Something I have been thinking over lately are what I'm calling the "3 big problems for social network...
Hi all - First, I wanted to say thanks to Seth, Bruce, Patti, Valdis and all of the other speakers at the jumpstart series. It's been a great learning...
Yes! And a quiz for everyone... which SNA/ONA metric is PageRank most like? I have always wondered if the Google boys knew about SNA before they came up with...
Joseph Webhe responded (April 3...message 69) to my request for more information on getting honest answers. Thank you. Surely someone has described answers to...
Not sure, because I don't claim to really understand the Page Rank algorithm all that well, but from what I've heard, it's like the Eigenvector centrality...
Vicki, This is a great suggestion. If you were on the call yesterday, you know we're thinking about what ONA-prac 2.0 looks like, and this is certainly a piece...
