5. 5

   Participants add Post-its for people they know who are active in the work, arranging them by degrees of separation.

Suggerimenti

• Encourage participants to think ambitiously about future connections, focusing on small, actionable groups.

• Avoid overcomplicating the map by limiting the number of distinct groups in the legend.

• Regularly update the map to reflect changes in the network.

Variazioni

Revisit the network map periodically to track growth and changes. Use digital tools for more detailed mapping and analysis. Combine webbing sessions with follow-up actions using methods like 15% Solutions or Design StoryBoards.
