What is network analysis

Four simple concepts• Nodes - entities on the graph

• Edges - relationships between nodes

• Degrees - how do we measure the amount of connectivity?

• Reach - how do we measure the effect of the network

Testing our typology

Testing our typology• NHS organisation

• Member-led organisation (professions)

• Citizen-led organisation

• Shareholder led organisation (Private)

• Shareholder led organisation (Social)

• Charity

• Elected Representatives

Identifying the relationships

Mapping the system• Identify one or two people who know the same part

of the system as you

• Identify the institutions within that part of the system and block them out on a piece of flip chart

• Draw the relationships

• Fill in the data cards

Next steps
