“Co-generating knowledge and
innovation”
net∞WORKING™ begins with understanding organizations as an
ecosystem of networks.
We understand the challenge
net∞WORKING entails, but
contend both individuals and
organizations must adopt “And Both”
thinking and operating.
Succeeding today demands thinking beyond a
solely transactional, process oriented, linear
view of organizations (ingrained from years of
standard business school models and
management practices), to one that embodies
networks, complexity models, and demands
non-linear mental approaches. Critical is
learning to operate “AND BOTH”, of
appropriately choreographing control and
openness, facilitating interactions, engagement,
participation and contributions from all
stakeholders (employees, partners, suppliers,
external expertise networks and shareholders), to
enable a continuing flow of essential knowledge
and fresh ideas vital to sustainable economic
value creation in a connected 21st century world.
net∞WORK™ = Understanding human networks as
resources to be WORKed to create value for organizations.

Sustainable enterprises knowingly engage stakeholders and operate as
a network.
Five Critical Steps
Our research found 10 net∞WORKING
Dimensions* as essential for effective
executives to adapt organizational
cultures for knowledge flow and
economic value creation. We have
organized as Five Critical Steps.
Think Networks
1. Organizations function as a complex
ecosystem of network webs radiating out
from the core to the periphery, the
marketplace. Internal to the organization
is the familiar formal structure, the
backbone, like the road system.
2. However, work gets done through the
informal network of relationships and
interactions.
3. Knowledge is created through individual
interactions, which are amplified by
net∞WORKING.
See Patterns
4. Patterns of participation impact
knowledge flows. Changing patterns of
participation, in fact changes
organizations as we see daily as
stakeholders exert their voices through
online collaboration platforms.
Analyze & Visualize Networks
5. Organizational network analysis (ONA)
reveals current knowledge flows and
individual’s roles. Network analysis is a
diagnostic approach used to make visible
the connection an individual has to
another within the boundaries of an
organization and beyond.
6. Network maps visualize network analysis
and provide a common view for
individuals and groups to discuss the
revealed patterns and information flows.
7. Network analysis provides new
measurement tools into how well
organizations are operating. ONA helps
companies create competitive
advantage by understanding
marketplace disconnects (information
access, timing, referrals, and control) that
provides entrepreneurial opportunities.

Use Collaborative Technology
9. Technologies shape work and we shape technology. We are in
a constant evolution with our digital tools so much so that we forget
how quickly a platform fades to be replaced by another. Human
behavior may or may not adapt as quickly reflected in slow
adoption curves in changing organizational cultures.
Open networked organizations maximize innovation by using
collaborative platforms.
Take Action
10. Balance Intension and control to create networked cultures.
Involve organizational members in developing your values in
action with integrated metrics and rewards,
To promote innovation and increase value creation,
organizations must adopt a new trusting approach to
employees recognizing the power each can increasingly
contribute through their connected personal networks. 21st
century organizations demand no less.
