@GreenCChampion, @GilesGibson can you think of ways in which items in your list/map of networks are connected? e.g.

are local forums connected to neighbouring ones?
where are the strong connections to the council?
are there any collections of networks that regularly overlap?

GreenCChampion commented 9 years ago

all local neighbourhood forums are part of a network - Lambeth Forum network (LFN)
LFN does have a strong connection to the council. Otherwise in some cases there are strong links. -GPs would be well networked with their commissioners but not necessarily networked in their neighbourhood
Generally health networks to do not regularly overlap with other networks eg education or local neighbourhood forums and I think this is something we want to change.

@GreenCChampion I've added a column to your Map the Mappers sheet called "User need". Would be very interesting if you could add 1 sentence to each listing why that network/email list/etc needs to exist? Things like the forum networks are relatively obvious for Chris and me, but its much harder to understand why the email lists are maintained.

@GilesGibson @GreenCChampion some questions:

What's the difference between an Action group and a Forum?
Do "champions" networks collaborate?

I've had a quick go at dropping the mappers list into Kumu (which builds an actual map :) )

Have tagged some of the elements. Might be useful for quick visualisations of where connections are happening and where they could be developed.
