After introducing the Networked Flow as a collective creativity process, this article analyses whether certain Social Network Analysis (SNA) indices could be possible predictors of the social structures’ collective creativity. An empirical study was conducted in which online collaborative groups of adults on a post-graduate course interacted by a web platform in order to achieve a shared objective. The groups’ final products were evaluated about their originality and transferability, and these were then compared to the groups’ collective activity parameters. Final results show that the Cliques Participation Index, purposely created for this study, is a potential predictor in the groups’ collective creativity.

Abstract

After introducing the Networked Flow as a collective creativity process, this article analyses whether certain Social Network Analysis (SNA) indices could be possible predictors of the social structures’ collective creativity. An empirical study was conducted in which online collaborative groups of adults on a post-graduate course interacted by a web platform in order to achieve a shared objective. The groups’ final products were evaluated about their originality and transferability, and these were then compared to the groups’ collective activity parameters. Final results show that the Cliques Participation Index, purposely created for this study, is a potential predictor in the groups’ collective creativity.
