The workshop aims to explore the methodology known as Social Network Analysis, which enables the measurement and analysis of the connections formed between individuals and/or institutions that share a particular social space. The success of individuals and organizations depends largely on their strategic use of social capital. That is why it is important today to identify these structures in order to analyze the dynamics they generate, enabling us to understand them within a specific context, and from there to promote their management within the framework of processes of change and improvement.
