About us
Visible Network Labs is a social enterprise composed of network scientists, evaluators, technologists & communicators using the PARTNER Platform and Methodology (www. partnertool.net). We are committed to helping the world build better, more effective cross-sector, collaborative networks. Inter-organizational Networks are becoming more and more critical way to work in the public and nonprofit sector. Joining with other organizations to share knowledge and resources and coordinate our efforts leads to greater impact and efficiency. However, many networks fail - one study suggests 3 out of 4 cross-sector networks fail to move the needle at all. We help network build a data-driven strategy that guides their collaboration towards greater success and impact. We create tools and technology that help networks gather the data they need to build and adapt their strategy. Our Learning Lab programs include virtual courses, in-person workshops and monthly webinars to master network leadership and evaluation skills. Finally, we provide consulting and evaluation services to partners that help them visualize their partnerships, demonstrate impact, and build strategies for the future. We look forward to connecting!

Social Network Analysis (SNA) is transforming how foundations and funders approach collaboration and impact. A recent article of ours highlights six key ways foundations can use SNA to boost their effectiveness and create value: 🔍 1. Identifying Key Influencers and Stakeholders SNA identifies well-connected and influential network members, enabling foundations to engage strategic partners and expand their reach. 🎯 2. Assessing Program Reach and Impact By mapping connections among program participants, foundations can see how knowledge and resources flow, helping them fine-tune their program focus. 🤝🏼 3. Uncovering Collaboration Opportunities SNA exposes existing partnerships and gaps, offering foundations a roadmap to join new networks or areas of focus. 💰 4. Evaluating Funded Networks As a program evaluation tool, SNA shows funding impact by revealing new relationships, shifts in collaboration patterns, and ways to strengthen networks. 📣 5. Improving Communication Flows By tracking information spread, foundations can spot and fix communication bottlenecks, boosting overall network efficiency. 💪🏼 6. Strengthening Internal Networks Using SNA internally helps foundations improve their own structures, enhancing interdepartmental communication and spotting key in-house influencers. SNA offers a flexible, data-driven way for foundations to grasp and harness their networks—whether managing grantees, building partnerships, or assessing internal dynamics. By mapping these complex relationships, foundations can make smarter decisions and dramatically scale their impact.

🔄 The Trust-Based Philanthropy Project aims to transform power dynamics and remove structural barriers that often hinder nonprofits from achieving their intended impact. 💡 They've developed a powerful set of values and six interconnected practices to reshape how we collaborate with grantees, fostering community-wide systems change. These six practices are: 1. Give multi-year, unrestricted funding: Enables flexibility for long-term, innovative work. 2. Do the homework: Shifts responsibility to funders, freeing up nonprofits' time. 3. Simplify and streamline paperwork: Eases administrative burden on nonprofits. 4. Be transparent and responsive: Builds trust and mutual accountability. 5. Solicit and act on feedback: Integrates grantee perspectives to refine strategies. 6. Offer support beyond the check: Provides non-monetary assistance to strengthen organizational health. 🔍 Explore these six practices and their associated values in depth on their website: https://zurl.co/lTNn #TrustBasedPhilanthropy #EcosystemApproach #SystemsChange

🌱 Taking an ecosystem approach to philanthropy requires foundations to address the power imbalances across their communities between funders and grantees. 🤝 By approaching their relationships with grantee partners from a place of trust and collaboration rather than compliance and control, funders can help advance equity, shift power, and build mutually accountable relationships. 📖 Learn more in this great article from FSG: https://zurl.co/b9eh #EcosystemApproach #NetworkLeadership #TrustBasedPhilanthropy

We are entangled in a multiplicity of ways, containing and residing within multi-dimensional multi-scalar multitudes (or #networks of networks of networks …). I find this simultaneously liberating, dizzying, humbling and dumbfounding. Knowing that everything is interconnected can inspire a profound sense of #belonging, yes, and sometimes it can make it a bit hard for me to plan or get through the day! And so here we are, exquisitely entwined, and yet also individuals, or at least bounded organisms with a sense of #individuality, of distinction, of the need to preserve the #integrity and #dignity of something called “me” or “self.” And the question of these times would appear to be: How can we honor a healthy sense of self/individual, whole communities, and Life Itself, all at once? Or in the words of Damion Searls (from the introduction to a new translation of Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet): “The point of #solitude is to give yourself time to grow in your own way, while the ultimate goal remains the difficult task of #love and connection.” https://lnkd.in/daRuYHz image: Visible Network Labs

🔗 Boost Innovation with Network Diversity 🔗 Want to drive innovation and solve complex problems more effectively? Focus on network diversity—the variety of perspectives, skills, and experiences within your professional connections. Why It Matters: ✨ Spark Innovation: Diverse networks bring together different viewpoints, leading to creative solutions that homogeneous groups might miss. 🧩 Better Problem-Solving: Access to a wide range of knowledge and skills helps tackle challenges from multiple angles. 🚀 Resilience: Diverse connections make networks more adaptable and responsive to change. How to Leverage It: 1. Expand Your Network: Connect with people outside your usual circles—across industries, roles, and backgrounds. 2. Collaborate Inclusively: Engage diverse voices in your projects to enhance outcomes. 3. Use Technology: Tools like Social Network Analysis (SNA) can help you identify and fill diversity gaps in your network. Embrace network diversity as a strategic advantage to fuel innovation and drive success. #NetworkScience #Innovation #Diversity #SNA #Leadership #Collaboration
