What is a Social Capital Map?

A social capital map uses business network analysis techniques to elicit the capacity of an organisation to effectively engage in its activities. It provides the ability to examine quantitatively, qualitatively, and graphically the linkages between nodes, where nodes are individuals. A connection between two or more nodes means there is some sort of relationship and information is passed between them. Social capital maps provide a powerful way to understand how work is actually done in an organisation.
