Filters: Current & Former Board & Management Team Relationships Inlcluded (default is Current Only)

This is the Person Map for the combined network of the Person nodes for Reid Hoffman and John Dean. The two target nodes are evident in the map because they are enlarged and have thicker borders. Some filters have been applied to this map. Namely, former affiliations between Person nodes and Company nodes have been allowed. The default setting is to only allow current affiliations.

This map is interesting because it shows that in this network John Dean's connections are responsible for the clustering, and the addition of Reid Hoffman's connections does not change the structure of the network significantly. This does not necessarily mean that Dean's connections are more important or valuable though, because we have not factored in the real world context and implications of the connections. Drawing conclusions about the structure of this particular network and extrapolating those inferences directly into a real world valuation of an individual's network is not advisable without also accounting for the real world context of the connections and network first.
