19. Architecting Participation STRUCTURAL HOLES and SPACE between the TOOLS 4. Using multiple tools created value From Ronald Burt (2000) we were aware of opportunities to create value around ‘structural holes’ in organisational networks. Hence we paid attention when it was suggested that it is ‘…the space between the tools where things happen’ (N. White 2007, pers. comm., 2 July). ~ Ambrozek, Axelrod & Mulliner 2007, Knowledge Tree
21. What have we learned so far? Value is created through relationships and interactions. How to put personal networks to work to address a business challenge How considering the collection and intersection of personal networks reveals where social capital lies in an organization. Network analysis can reveal the hidden patterns of relationships and opportunities. What else????

Another way to look at our topic is through Simons’ duck poind. Those who know Simon will also know he has an enthusiasm for ducks, as his email signature says, because “their fowl, but not by choice”. So while I assume Simons’ focus in looking at his photo is the ducks, for me it’s the POND…
.. And the reason is because for just like an organization when you have the tools and can peer into the pond a lot more is going on than you imagine. Specifically here there is a complex food web at work, with the bottomline no food web in balance, no ducks on the pond.
So it is for organizations. When you have the tools you can better understand how your organization operates as an extended complex web,
Furthermore while not obvious from just gazing at the poind, if you raise your vision to seeing the bigger picture it’s clear the pond is part of a much larger ecosystem. Both natural forces like rainfall and drought impact as well as man made activities like damming streams and adding pollutants.
Where are the roadblocks that you can impact…. “ Social Network Analysis is a mathematical and visual analysis of relationships / flows / influence between people, groups, organizations, computers or other information/knowledge processing entities – Valdis Krebs
.. And by drawing on the efforts of folks like these you have tools to better understand how your organizations actually work to help you both see how inserting E2.0 tools is changing patterns of participation, as well as where you can make changes to enhance adoption and use. … When IBM closed IKO Prusak migrated to Babson where with Thomas Davenport runs the Working Knowledge study group. You might have seen Davenport’s latest book called: Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performance And Results from Knowledge Workers (Hardcover) This slide gives you a picture of the people leading the thinking about networks in organizations and developing the network analysis methods to better understand how relationships are impacting the way work gets done and the interventions to improve producitivity. Prusak and Davenport are just Rob Cross a Professor at McIntire School of Commerce, UVA, was an IKO research fellow and now runs the Network Roundtable there. The next meeting is in November. This presentation embodies the approach and thinking that is being generated out of the Roundtable research. I’m sure you all have personal networks that you reach out too…
People are not computers and their ability to adapt is not as swift. To extend computing capability you simply add servers with understood capabilities of memory and processing power. But when you look at a organizational network analysis the differences in people’s influence and connectedness quickly become clear. Not everybody is connected. Some people have more connections and ability to connect.
Design for Network Effects: Architecting participation and leveraging the space between the tools.

As “social technology” – all of the social websites and social software access and technologies increases direct control diminishes. Other processes do come into play to prevent the “dark side” of open systems from becoming corrupted. Processes such as moderation, as in wikipedia where a core group keeps track of the pages and the emerging patterns of interaction. The visualization of wikipages research http://www.research.ibm.com/visual/projects/history_flow/ Other impacts are the leadership role changes then to one of facilitation of interaction, enabling information flow, moderation of interactions, setting of principles for interaction, etc. This now links with the PowerLaw of Participation slide. Social Technology creates a diffuse core not central bounded nextwork. So issues of power and control need to be redefined. Some of the recent research is looking into the network dynamics – the emerging formulas for success, prediction and shaping of successful network structures.

..that I believe comes from how it changes patterns of participation and the way work gets done across and beyond traditional boundaries of organizzations. These tools in the hands of individuals amplify their work and if you are a manager, especially in the IT department, who likes order and structure, are disruptive. Tbat’s why to me it’s important along with putting these tools to work in organizations is to devote energy as well to really understanding how work is getting done, where are the stuctural holes in your organization and how you can put these tools to work to fill them. Organizations are Webs of Participation Not a new idea– more than a decade ago JSB & ESG forecast the challenge Aftermath of exercise: Let’s think about what went on here..

Here are some ideas that help me in putting networks to work in organizations. You’ve been at the conference. You will go back to the day-to-day and be back in the weeds as Victoria is prone to say. Some ideas to keep out of the weeds as you go about your work.
