Impact Networks

Great overview, lacks depth in some areas

Impact Networks provides a great overview of how to to build and sustain impact networks and contains many useful insights on what great network facilitation looks like. I'm eager to explore the resources provided on https://www.converge.net/trainings#toolkit and apply some of the insights learned in this book towards my own network building aspirations.

My impression is that this is a fairly introductory book, but I would've liked if this book went deeper into the concrete details of some aspects of network creation and stewardship. Topics like acquiring funding or incentivizing inter-organizational collaboration weren't very well addressed.

Overall, this was an insightful read into the world of network building and while a bit shallow at times, was well worth my time.
