Strategic network design

Begin with a work decision rather than a target number of new names. Write a six-field brief that separates a knowledge need from a partnership promise, then map direct contact, possible introduction and public-source routes. Prioritize by evidence of relevance, relationship context, request burden and disclosure boundary, without ranking people by status. Record checkable events and authorized commitments instead of guesses about support. One forum case develops across the lessons: a public description, an internal list, an experienced coordinator and a question about selection criteria. By the end, the learner can identify who may answer a remaining question, what can be shared, who owns the decision and when a route should close after a public answer or a declined request.
