Hi there! Welcome back to the Gen C mini series on influence

In Mini Series “1″ we explored Malcolm Gladwell’s “Tipping Point” as a way to get a few influencing ‘the many’ with Mavens, Connectors and Sales people.

In Mini Series “2″ I identified that Connectors are only half of the picture when it comes to broadcasting a message – you also need Conductors,which I define in overview.

In Mini Series “3″ I broke down the four types of Conductors briefly to start to understand how they can influence people – naturally including Generation C

In Mini Series “4″ we investigated further the key differences between Connectors and Conductors and their relative regularity and visibility of influence

In Mini Series “5″ we reviewed the 4 types of Conductors (Information, Debate, Social and Club) and what kind of people they are how they influence their networks

In Mini Series “6″ we consider how Conductors and Connectors fit onto a map so we can effectively target particular groups

In Mini Series “7″ we had Christmas (!) and defined the map of human networks as looking like an airport with particular strong hubs of influence that are irregularly placed. Further we noted that the 80/20 rule applies when finding those influencer hubs.

In Mini Series “8″ we confirmed that the good ole airport map is the ‘right’ map for human networks – so it’s about unevenly powerful hubs that we need to find in order influence Generation. Once again the 80/20 rule applies when looking at relative importance of hubs. We also busted 6 degrees of separation as a global myth to help understand how message flow in human networks.

This week (video of 3 mins 25 seconds) we are considering how to speed up the passage of information through social hubs and what’s required to have optimal rapidity of message transfer to help understand how influence Generation C most effectively.

I bet you’ve seen this happening yourself – the key question is – how do you identify the links between social hubs to influence more successfully?

I look forward to your answers

Jake
