Centers for Network Research are aiding the transformation from a function and process model to the network mindset. Network thinking, orientation, visualizations, theory, etc. are subsuming the function and process mentality. The network model is rising fast for organizations, businesses, industries, the environment and civil society.

One leading indicator of the enormous importance of network analysis to people, business, government, militaries and society is the explosion of network research centers at major universities. Below, is a quick, modest, anecdotal and validated representative sample.
