I must say, that on first look, statements like "next generation, researched based, internationally proven system" make me think more of pyramid marketing. The process seems to be based on getting more adherents: "And here are the steps in the certification process: Attend a 1-day certification workshop. Enroll 15 - 20 clients as part of the FloWork Network Management System in your agency or community within two months of the certification workshop. Review client caseload with a FloWork representative via conference call and online discussion. Register with the FloWork Registry." Thanks, Kristina, I’ll look into those links.

I just wanted to mention about something about Social Capital. While the article that you linked to is great, realise that it's 10 years old and much research has been done since. I would recommend that you check out work done by John-Paul Hatala (I've actually worked briefly with him) either via his Website http://www.socialnetworkaudit.com/ or Ning Network http://flowork.ning.com/profile/JohnPaulHatala Let me know what you think!
