PurpleSpace release disability ERG/network-specific Networkology Self-Assessment Tool

PurpleSpace, the world's only networking and development provider for disability ERG/Network leaders have released the Networkology Self-Assessment Tool, sponsored by Microlink PC (UK) Ltd and Sanofi.

Built on over a decade's worth of work supporting disability ERG/Network leaders, the tool brings together the art and science of network leadership, helping ERG/Network leaders reflect on their impact, measure progress, and identify opportunities to strengthen their networks.

PurpleSpace members have free access to the tool, which generates an individual report with suggested pathways to ERG/Network progression and alignment with central objectives. You can view a short video demo of the tool via this YouTube link.

Early feedback from the first users hears how they will use this tool with their ERG/Networks to understand what they are doing well and where they want to grow. Highlights included:

• ERG/Network leadership is both an art and a science: Combining strong structures with the human skills needed to influence, engage and lead change.
• Measuring progress matters: Tools like the Networkology Self-Assessment help ERG/Networks move beyond awareness and demonstrate real organisational impact.
• ERG/Network growth isn’t linear: ERG/Networks often have strengths in some areas and opportunities in others, and reflection is key to continuous improvement.

The next iteration of the Networkology Self-Assessment tool will be released ahead of the Global Disability ERG Summit in October 2026.

If you would like to speak to the PurpleSpace Team about the tool, alongside member benefits, such as the FutureMaker Development Programme for new and emerging disability ERG/Network leaders, Peer Leadership Roundtables or ERG/Network specific resource library, please email [email protected].
