A little more detail.

We will use a network mapping diagram to create a team network map that shows the important links to other teams, stakeholders and internal customers.

By seeing who the team links with we’ll be able to understand the importance of those links and relationships.

This gives a powerful visualisation to use within further exercises in the workshop.

BRIEF Facilitation notes

How to run it.

When to use it

Use Team Network Map to make a team's important relationships visible. Mapping the links to other teams, stakeholders and internal customers shows how the team fits in the organisation and sets up deeper work on those relationships.

Use it when

  • A team needs to see who it depends on and who depends on it.
  • You want a visual foundation for relationship-building work.
  • Important links are being taken for granted or overlooked.

Not the right tool when

  • You want to improve specific relationships in depth. Use Team Network Builder.
  • The focus is winning cooperation from other teams. Use Win Win.
