Network Mapping Workshop
Network mapping makes visible the riches of social capital and collaboration that create strength in numbers. When stakeholders can see the often invisible threads that connect people and institutions and that mediate the flow of resources, information and trust, they can work better together. Our workshops give you and your team basic skills to use network mapping for your own purposes! Check out our growing Atlanta food system map, below.
Network Mapping
One of our favorite tools for understanding systems and strengthening collective impact is network mapping and analysis. When stakeholders can see the often invisible threads that connect people and institutions and that mediate the flow of resources and information, they can work better together. While a work in progress, this map of collaboration among Food Systems Actors in Metro Atlanta can be used to explore relationships. The map uncovers a complex and interconnected web of food system actors working on a diverse set of issues, including hunger relief, food access, sustainable agriculture, and nutrition education. Key actors and their relationships were identified using a snowball sampling methodology informed by internet search and website review.
