Dear Suzanne,
There are network profiling tools and resources at the following web
site that might be useful - see
http://www.academyhealth.org/ruralhealth/ruralpubs.htm

A useful tool in the process once you have a framework might be the Mind
Manager software. You can find a demo/free trial at
http://www.mindjet.com/us/products/mindmanager_standard/mmse.php .
There are also sample maps.

Subject: Looking for network mapping tools and models


Dear Colleagues,

The Health Promotion Resource team at the Ontario Prevention
Clearinghouse
(OPC) is about to engage in a network mapping process to assess the
breadth
and depth of our current individual, organizational and community
relationships.

The OPC Health Promotion Resource Centre supports groups and individuals
working to strengthen population-based health
promotion.(http://www.opc.on.ca).

We are looking for models of network mapping that others have used to
track
your networks, particularly models that assess the degree of
connectivity.
This would include an assessment of all kinds of organizational
relationships from committee and board members, to advisors and
partners, as
well as more informal networks that may involve information or resource
sharing.

We want to understand and strengthen the linkages and networks that we
have
in OPC, and to set priorities for new networks that could help us expand
the
health promotion field, and increase our capacity for collaboration and
exchange.

We would appreciate learning about any network mapping models that are
out
there, including survey questions, checklists, and frameworks.


Many thanks!
