Unfortunately our microphone failed, so while the video looks good, the sound is mainly inaudible. We might put together a short clip of scenes from the day, and if we do, we’ll post it here.

One of the participants asked this question: “I am dying to try out social network analysis using the software, but I don’t have the budget. You mentioned some free softwares on this… mind sharing how to get those?
This is my reply:
There’s a good description of practical issues in approaching software analysis of social networks, with some links to freeware and shareware versions - note their cautions - http://www.byeday.net/sna/software.html

Q2. What are some practical examples in encouraging sharing mindsets within non-educational organisations?
Q3. How can social networks be leveraged to improve performance indicators in organisations?
Q4. Can social networks be linked to branding exercise in organisations? How?
