Diagnosing communication bottlenecks in a cross-functional team
The Social Network Analysis 2 mind map template, based on the article 'Inside Social Network Analysis' by Kate Ehrlich and Inga Carboni, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and analyzing social networks. It covers 7 major branches—Assumptions, Effective method, Fields, Reveal the social network, Concepts, Main elements, and Ties—with 169 nodes. Key concepts include 'Centrality' (with subtypes Degree, Betweenness, Closeness centrality), 'Structural holes', and 'Brokerage'. The template explores how connections have real consequences and can be structured to optimize outcomes at individual, group, and organizational levels. It is a practical tool for diagnosing group dynamics, improving information flow, and restructuring organizational charts.
