Steve Waddell of Networking Action Excerpts from an excellent blog from ValueNetworks.com colleague and customer, Steve Waddell of Networking Action We can easily be overwhelmed by the complexity of large networks where there are many different organizations and people involved. Clearly “seeing” relationships between organizations, people, and key concepts is important for successful network strategies. To vastly enhance and speed understanding of these relationships, I’ve worked with various forms of “mapping”. Network

Quality assurance and project management roles were central to the development sociology, in contrast to the developer-centric software production most often observed in our studies of AT&T telecommunications software. We most frequently use a natural force-based network analysis to analyze organization data collected in the Pasteur data base. Like most people I'm often kind of amazed when my mouth does my thinking for me - both good amazed and bad amazed. yesterday, meeting with a prospective client, and trying to explain the way I think through the problem of implementing
 

The Best from the Communities and Networks Connection Community

Value Network Analysis (VNA) is one of the sense-making tools that I emphasize in my book, Net Work . Whether shared or created with the client or not, it's how I make sense of how a network of actors (inside an organization, or across multiple organizations) gets work done. The units of analysis in a VNA are (1) a role, for example, technical writer, software developer, or end user and (2) exchanges. I have had the privilege of working with and learning from its inventor, Verna Allee , and have internalized the mapping of value exchanges into my consulting practice.
For years now I have been trying to get the message out to senior executives that effective social networks are critical to business performance . By now that is well understood, in part supported by the large body research and academic literature on how social networks in and across organizations drive results and performance. The report itself, Value of Social Network -- A Large-Scale Analysis on Network Structure Now researchers from IBM Research and MIT have undertaken the largest study of its kind ever. BusinessWeek writes that Researchers at
New Report from Carol Rozwell cites value network analysis as a key business discipline A new Gartner report on Pattern-Based Strategy points to network analysis as a key business discipline. "Work quot;Work is routinely conducted among employees, business partners and customers without a clear understanding of the positions that people play in the social network or a quantification of the value exchanges that occur," said Carol Rozwell, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner [pictured]. "CIOs, quot;CIOs, IT professionals and business managers need to look to social network analysis to achieve a Pattern-Based Strategy."
Notable Quotables As people apply the enormous power of value networks and value network analysis they enjoy telling the world about their discovery. On Value Networks “The use of software to help transform organizational processes and create value networks will be a key value driver for businesses going forward. At SAP, we call it Business Network Transformation.” Here are a few of many that are noteworthy. rdquo; Geraldine McBride , CEO SAP AG, The Business Times "Disruptive innovations fail because they lack
Two basic value network patterns are visualized in the application: the Standard Role Based Value Network and the Collaborative Value Network of individuals involved in an activity. The Role based value network shows the actual value contributing roles that people play to get the work done. role can be filled by one person or hundreds, depending Trace the development path of complex interactions with the ValueNetworks.com application ValueNetworks.com reveals the hidden story of human interactions that support any given business activity.

Can virtual spaces or databases serve as nodes or "roles" in value networks? Network expert Pati Anklam (author of Net Work) asked for the current thinking about adding a virtual space (a social networking site, a document repository) etc. as a role in a value network map. This question comes up frequently. There are different schools of thought on this.

Indicators and Metrics for Monitoring and Predicting Performance One of the most powerful benefits of value network modeling is the ability to monitor, predict and influence performance. In addition to Animations and Detailed Visuals , indicator reports are generated for the Standard Value Network (Role view) and the Collaborative Value Network (Participant view). Metrics are made simple with the Comprehensive Reports function in the ValueNetwork.com application. The text and charts below are drawn from a Standard Value Network (Role-based)
Evolving Supply Chains to Supply Networks Netzkompetenz in Supply Chains | Pfohl 2004 Supply chains were invented in the late 20th Century to achieve orderly transformation of material inputs into finished products for customers. These supply chains are engineered with robust frameworks and models like Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) and Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF.) In the 21st Century there has been a rapid evolution of the supply chain into loosely coupled, self-organizing networks of businesses. For decades supply chains were seen as linear and mechanical processes.
