Social Network Mapping As a Tool for Advancing Innovation on Campus

Wednesday, October 01, 2014 | 3:40PM–4:30PM | Meeting Room W304F-H
Session Type: Professional Development

Organizational change is notoriously hard to achieve. Social network analysis offers a new tool for advancing the adoption of new tools and behaviors on campus. This methodology can help leaders identify and empower influential individuals, identify communication silos and pockets of resistance, and develop data-driven strategies to overcome these obstacles. In this session, representatives from Ithaka S+R and Syndio Social will present new research on organizational change in higher education through the lens of social networks and the role that individual "influencers" play in advancing innovation and transformation.


OUTCOMES: Learn about a new tool to think about promoting the adoption of tools and behaviors * See what a social network "dashboard" looks like and how these data can inform communication strategies for new initiatives * View institutional cultures and sentiments towards innovation in a new light
