Evaluating your Networks

Your network is not stagnant but is constantly growing and changing. People enter and exit the organisation, industry and ecosystem. Therefore regularly reassess your network. Look at the maps of your organisation and ecosystem, identify the changes since last reviewed. Think about how you can create more value to the organisation through your networks. Look at who you want to include and establish a strategy to meet this person. Remember this is where your social network can be effective. Look for people in both you network and Network that know this person and can introduce you to this person. It is far better to be introduced than cold call.
