LAUNCHING: How to get started? Diagnosis!

1. What is "the Diagnosis"?

A diagnosis of a network refers to the process of assessing and analyzing the various aspects of the specific network to gain a comprehensive understanding of its strengths, weaknesses, challenges, opportunities and visions. It involves systematically examining the organization's structure, culture, processes, systems, and performance to identify areas that require improvement or change.

The purpose of conducting a diagnosis is to obtain a clear picture of the network's current state and diagnose any underlying issues or factors that may be hindering its effectiveness or inhibiting its growth. It helps in identifying areas of improvement and developing strategies to enhance network performance, efficiency, and overall effectiveness as well as reconnect to its purpose and our interconnected stories within the network.
