The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance worked with Syndio Social (IKNOW) to better understand how our members were connected to one another and how they networked across our organization. We visually saw how our organization has grown over the years and how connections grew exponentially once someone became a member. We gained a better understanding about the value of being a member of the organization by visually seeing how relationships spread across the organization and created synergies. When the data was presented at our Annual Conferences there were a lot of head nods and "Aha moments". It was truly invaluable.

The Project

In fall of 2009, Syndio Social (then operating as IKNOW Inc.) collaborated on a survey-based network analysis with the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance. The Alliance is a coalition of over 160 organizations who are united by the common goal of increasing survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer. Through a web-administered network analysis survey, Syndio was able to map and measure the cross-organizational communication networks of Alliance members. With this knowledge, the Alliance was able to capture the true value of being a member and to chart the synergies and outcomes of networking among members.
