‘Networkology’ is the word we use to describe the ‘art & science’ of creating high-performing disability networks / resource groups. 
Watch a masterclass in best practice through this one hour workshop, tailored to the lifecycle of your network, or ‘swimlane’ as we like to call it. If you’re in the process of creating a network/resource group, or have been running a network/resource group for two years or less, this webinar will provide practical tips and advice to equip you for progress into the “Stepping Up” swimlane. Angela Lewis, Companies House, Director of People Transformation and Executive Sponsor of Ability Network, speaks about her experiences of “Starting Out,” to help your network/resource group continue promoting positive cultural change. Joanna Allen, CEO of Graze, represents the ‘Stepping Up’ swimlane, providing best practice on how to supercharge the contribution of your network/resource group. PurpleSpace’s Founder and CEO, Kate Nash
