Map Your Network
Victoria is a leading practitioner in “network science” - the tools, methodology and measures that turn invisible networks of organisations and individuals into a digital map like this one. With her help, you can view and filter your network in any number of ways, and see the relative strength of relationships between your members.
Although the map is a useful resource in its own right, it’s just the beginning. Through systematic social network analysis, Victoria and her team can then identify strengths, weaknesses, gaps and bottlenecks within your network. From there she will co-design a clear and measurable pathway forward.
The network map is useful for any group of individuals or organisation who share a common purpose. Victoria has created them for international industry coalitions, national health networks, professional bodies and to support philanthropic organisations to target their funding in the right place. You can view an interactive copy of the sample map here.
Case Study: Strengthening a Community Sector Network
Client: Hui E! Community Aotearoa
Hui E! Community Aotearoa commissioned a network analysis of its Community Constellation - a group of community-sector peak bodies, intermediaries and support organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand.
The work helped the network understand its current structure, identify opportunities for deeper collaboration, and move from centralised coordination toward a more distributed and resilient model.
Hui E! Community Aotearoa plays a vital convening role in the community and voluntary sector. We mapped connections across its Community Constellation - scoring relationship quantity and quality - and translated the findings into a plain-language strategic report.
The analysis gave the constellation a shared, evidence-based picture of its relational infrastructure: where collaboration was already strong, where it was more assumed than active, and what practical steps could help the network become more mutual and more resilient over time.
Community-sector collaboration is often spoken about as a value. This project treated it as infrastructure.
"The constellation already had the raw ingredients for collaboration. The opportunity was to make the connections more visible, more mutual and more deliberately supported."
"You can't strengthen what you can't see. This work gave us a clearer picture of the network - and showed where relationship could become a strategic resource."
