Stephenson: Three Laws of Networks

CENTRALITY: Networks have leverage points
DUALITY: Networks co-exist with hierarchy
MULTIPLICITY: Networks occur as knowledge layers

Who Do You Trust?

Hubs: are people who are highly
and directly connected with many
people; communicating and
disseminating knowledge throughout a
region.
Gatekeepers: link people and
customers together acting as
information gateways and brokering
knowledge between economic sectors.
Pulsetakers: are subtle having the
maximum influence across cultural
differences and working entirely
through indirect means.

Why is Measuring HAV so Important?

Heterarchy = 3 or more distinct
organizations locked in inter dependent collaboration, where
each is not privileged over the
other and a shared governance
presides.

Network = 3 or more
individuals locked in mutual
reciprocal exchange,
exchange that is both
interested and repetitive.
