Social Capital Group

Making Organizations and Networks More Intelligent.

The Social Capital Group (SocialCap) is a network of independent consultants who help organizations and their members become more effective through use of personal relationships, trusted networks, and collaborative technologies. 

Social Capital within Organizations
Social capital has been defined simply as "whom we know, and what we'll do for each other."   The main ingredients of social capital are trust and reciprocity.

Organizations that are able to effectively tap the trusted relationships of their staff and network members have more effective knowledge-sharing, better internal and external relationships, and more connected and useful networks within and outside the organization.

All of this translates into more successful and satisfied  individuals, and higher achievements.

Extended Social Capital Networks

Social capital networks are networks of trust that extend far beyond organizational boundaries.   These networks help organization executives and staff get their work done and produce high value related to:

  • Business development and funding
  • Recruiting and validating new employees, consultants, advisors, and volunteers.
  • Finding and mobilizing people with influence.
  • Identifying strategic partners & project team members.
  • Knowledge sharing & expertise location.
  • Managing alumni relations and developing better PR connections.
  • Community building to strengthen collaboration
  • Leadership development
Most organizations make use of social capital networks for these purposes, but in actuality tap only a tiny fraction of their full potential.   This is because for most organizations over 99% of their extended trust networks are invisible and unusable for any given person in the network.
