BSN Open Night connectionsThis network map shows the connections between some organisations attending the BigSociety Network Open Night event on July 6 2010 - those that returned questionnaire
forms which asked who do you work with most?The map divides into two:
Organisations connected into a wider network (left)
Clusters that do not connect to the wider network (below)
Organisations that are most central to the wider network are shown shaded and theircentrality scores are shown in a shaded box above and to the right of each node.
The mapping was an an experiment to show how the technique might be used to identifykey connectors, and where to focus network building.
The event was organised at short notice, and not all those attending filled inquestionnaires, so the results should be seen as an example of what might be achievedthrough a more substantial mapping exercise.
