Are any key connections missing? Who are playing leadership roles in the community? Who is not, but should be? Who are the experts in the area? Who are the mentors that others seek out for advice? Who are the innovators? Are ideas shared and acted upon? Are collaborative alliances forming between local businesses? Which businesses will provide a better return on investment – both for themselves and the community they are embedded in?

Editor's Notes
- #3: Ground Rules for this session: Don’t be afraid of say what you think even if you are not sure, this is a safe container session Better if we can see each other our faces by zoom, we are trying to simulate a face to face conversation and trying to stimulate a more engaging session Two feet session rule, feel free to abandon if you have something else to do This session will be built by all the participants, knowledge is more powerful together, not only by the facilitators This is a session where EGO is not allowed, feel free to abandon if you came with this mindset This is a session where everyone will need to participate and collaborate

- #6: Once we map the “go-to” network, we can measure it also. Based on the pattern of links – who goes to whom for advice and expertise – we can measure this network in a way similar to how Google measures the Web. We can determine who the key people are in the flow of expertise around this research lab. Luckily, the top two experts are not near retirement, but others in the top 10 are. The three largest nodes and one of the medium nodes are in the top- 10 of expertise dissemination in this network. Seeing this diagram, the lab manager immediately started to plan how she would disseminate the knowledge and expertise of the upcoming retirees. She chose mentoring as a first step.
- #10: ... the search for the ‘perfect System’ for ‘Scaling’ Rigid structures aren’t responsive, we need a shift from hierarchies to work as peers and co-create a world and organizations that works for all … only few leaders in organization (Leadership style) … because always liked the idea of fastest initiatives, working in different organizations make me aware of how bureaucratic can be to implement an idea.. … because I don’t like to work in something that don’t matter to me, engagement in work is crucial

By communication pattern is meant the network of channels of communication linking the group members with one another.

Mapping the social affinities of a group of individuals, Moreno’s first sociograms visualize the relationships between pupils in a classroom: who wants to be sitting next to whom? Each child can choose two others, for results that suggest that sociabilities are changing over time: the proportion of attractions between boys and girls decrease, community structures are formed and then disappear, etc.
