I'm not talking about the ancient Systems Network Architecture "renassience" :-))

The acronym stands for Social Networks Analysis... I think the efforts many people are investing in the development of visualization tools and their integration within social networking servcices e.g. for assesing community facilitators could be a useful innovation approach for collaborative networked environments in the virtual enterprise.

It's one of the key points we were proposing during the ICE workshop within our work group... We must allow the user to use her own combination - cocktail - of tools for accesing the "collaborative" platforms and services we will be providing them within and/or outside the corporate borders.

In order to do that, I'm pretty convinced that what we need is to use the tools and de-facto standards we currently have in place for 'empowering' the user in her own strategy for building up her own personal collaborative environment (pce).

In order to systematically develop and connect the elements realized in the workshop, we need some theoretical approach for managing the inner complexity of the techno-social systems we are dealing with. It does exist an approach that was introduced by the working group for "Decentralised research and innovation". The model, developed by an Spanish researcher many years ago, is labelled as "OITP model"
