  • Publication number: 20160094672
    Abstract: The present invention is a system that: assists network-level interests in analyzing of the effectiveness of informal problem solving networks; provides data and analysis to network-level interests that can be used to justify the development and implement of improvements to the informal problem solving networks; and makes it easier for network-level interests to work in partnership with network participants to develop improvements to the network by enabling network-level interests to evaluate the impact of improvements to the informal problem solving networks.
