Networks Insight

combining the power of organisational Social network analysis and organisation development methods

Substantial evidence highlights the critical role that well-managed social networks play in organisational success. For instance, research by Cross and Parker (2004) alongside many other studies shows a strong correlation between robust internal networks and improved organisational performance. Such networks build ‘Social Capital’, underpinning collaboration, agility, and resilience within complex organisations like the NHS. 

Understanding and leveraging networks is an increasingly important dimension in navigating complexity. Mapping connections, identifying weak and strong ties, recruiting 'boundary spanners' and recognising key influencers all contribute to the effectiveness of engagement, co-design, co-production, spread and adoption.

Organisational Social Network Analysis is an evidence-based empirical methodology for network discovery. Using specialised survey approaches, visual mapping and network metrics it provides a rich source of insight into the health of your networks.

Networks Insight combines Organisational Social Network Analysis with network-centric OD methodologies to discover, map and explore connections, knowledge flow and influence within organisational networks. Whether you are seeking a ‘healthcheck’ on existing networks, planning a major change programme or reorganisation or seeking to establish new networks Networks Insight provides valuable insights that allow you to make the most of your networks.
