TRANSCRIPT
The task today is to develop ideas that help community groups, see how they connect with each other - and then who might have connections and resources to make them happen. Here’s how a map of ideas may look
As well as developing ideas, we need to understand how mapping networks and assets can help.

Network Centrality•Indicates how central organisations are, in terms of the flows of information and influence
2 types: closeness (hubs) and betweenness (gatekeepers). Betweenness is generally better for showing the structure of a network•Centrality can be compared with the location of skills and resources to assess how effective a network is•Clusters of organisations can be identified for joint working
