ABSTRACT

The first part of this book introduced networks, their facets of purpose, structure, style, and value and described attributes of each facet. This chapter discusses the developmental tasks for creating sustainable networks. Chapter 8 looks at key network sense-making tools that provide insight into the relationships among network members and examines how those relationships affect the network's potential.Chapter 9 answers the “Now what?” question that follows a network examination: It summarizes and provides examples of methods that support changing, repairing, and revitalizing networks.
