“Your link to social network insights”
The Connected Action Consulting Group applies social science methods in general and social network techniques in particular to the analysis of enterprise and internet social media. Social network analysis (SNA) of data from message boards, blogs, wikis, friend networks, and shared file systems can reveal insights into organizations and processes. Community managers can gain actionable insights into the volumes of community content created in their social media repositories. Mobile social software applications can visualize patterns of association that are otherwise invisible.
If your business or organization wants to understand the shape of the social media landscape, inside or outside your business, Connected Action can help!
Interested in a lecture, workshop or keynote presentation related to social media and social networks? Lecture topics include: social impact of emerging technology, social networks, mobile technology, health, wellness, and community in a networked world.
NodeXL training and support, online or in-person training on social media, social networks, information visualization, data analysis, social change, organizational network analysis, and content analysis.
Daily, weekly, monthly or once off, NodeXL social media network maps are a great way to get an overview of your own social media topics and the related ones that matter to you. Maps offer a quick way to assess the type of social structure that has emerged around a topic, and to set targets for what your organization wants that structure to be. NodeXL reports complement the visualizations, offering detailed analysis of content used in each group found in the network. These text reports are automatically generated by NodeXL making it easy to compare the ways groups in your networks use URLs, hashtags, words, and @usernames. Together, the package makes identifying key people, groups, topics, and trends easier than reading thousands of tweets.
What can NodeXL social media network maps and reports tell you that will guide your social media plan? Maps created before, during and after an event can help assess the impact of efforts to change the social network. Identify which of six basic types of social media networks your topic is closest to. Compare the network you have with the network you want by mapping the accounts you aspire to resemble. Measure the change in your current state to determine if your social media activity and interventions are working.
Refine, extend, and adapt existing social media tools to meet your needs. We can build importers to link to your data or add network application features to meet your needs.
