Methodology 4 - Networking

Membership of a network implies a commitment to a group and its work and to cooperation. Networking implies a group connection, based around trust, understanding, and mutuality, that supports collaborative action. A network often takes a member beyond his or her own workplace, and involves interacting with members from other organisations.

If you are considering using networking please review the following resources developed by Reframing the Future.
