Social Network Analysis & Visualization for Non-profit Leaders

We held a free webinar for non-profits in Western North Carolina, which was well-attended. During that webinar, I explained a few things about trends in the non-profit industry, where technologies featuring social network analysis and social network visualization are being put to use by foundations and non-profits.

Using a combination of real and mocked up data, I then presented a few ways non-profits can use this type of technology–and Jute specifically–to save time and increase donation revenue.

Free webinar on social network visualization for non-profits

We’re proud to announce that we’ll be hosting a free 30-minute webinar for non-profit professionals (including “geeks” like IT managers).

The event will be held:

Wednesday November 11

1:00pm

Online (at your desk).

We’ll use screensharing / conference call info, which will be provided by email.

To register, RSVP by email.

What will we talk about?

One of the emerging technologies that is helping non-profits identify fundraising opportunities, manage executive transitions and communicate with funding partners is social network analysis (SNA).  This technology goes hand-in-hand with social network visualization (SNV).  These technologies require a lot of sophisticated work with data, some training on how to read the “maps,” and how to present findings to colleagues and partners.

This webinar will be a brief overview of how some non-profits are using SNA & SNV, and a quick demo of Jute NRM Prototype, which uses these two technologies as part of a consulting process.
