11. Relationship Mapping • Identify the organisations in your network • Write a list of the organisations with who you interact and are key to your future success. • Plot the names on a relationship map. For example: Size of this bubble indicates the importance of that organisation in your future success – the bigger the circle, the more important they are Organisation You Length of this line indicates the closeness of the relationship – the shorter the line, the stronger the relationship What conclusions do you draw? • Are some relationships that are well established that will look after themselves for a while? • Are there some (large bubbles) you need to develop stronger relationships (long lines)? • Make a note of the relationships that need attention
