Part I - Further Analysis of Knowledge Flow Map

Some of the following information was included in the project booklet, however, much of this further analysis was deemed less critical but still valuable to the EcoCentre and for the project, and thus was attached here in the supplemental materials file.

Knowledge Flow Map Most Connected Stakeholders: The most connected organizations to the EcoCentre by number are presented in the table below (Table A) as the organizations with at least six connections, highlighting the number (not taking into account depth) of knowledge flows into and out of the organization (Note: mutual flows are counted as both a flow into and out of an organization).

As expected, the City of Port Phillip is the most well connected stakeholder with the EcoCentre, as the EcoCentre is run by the city and thus shares a very deep connection and shared interest. More surprising is the large connection with the Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (Metro Waste) which has a shared interest in the Baykeeper program, however does not interact with the EcoCentre very much outside of this program. This is represented by the fact that all of the flows between Metro Waste and the EcoCentre are either opportunistic or regular, describing the absence of this stakeholder from the innermost circle on the map. A well connected stakeholder, but not a deep connection. The inclusion on this list of the two Riverkeepers: Werribee Riverkeeper, and Yarra Riverkeeper, is not surprising, nor is their position as two of the innermost stakeholders around the EcoCentre due to the very close relationship between the EcoCentre and riverkeepers including shared goals, interests, events, and having numerous deep connections. The inclusion of Love Our Street 3184 is somewhat surprising due to their being a smaller local group, however it was made clear with the interview of their organizational head that the EcoCentre was embedded in their organization which is shown through their deep connections and flows of knowledge to and from the EcoCentre. It’s unlikely that this is a stakeholder that the EcoCentre would consider to be key, however they are a very important source of cooperation and knowledge as shown through this map. This chart of the most well connected stakeholders also provides insight into some of the most important consumers and producers of information to and from the EcoCentre. The City of Port Phillip is still a large producer of knowledge to the EcoCentre, as is another large funder of the EcoCentre: Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. The EcoCentre realizes their importance as a funder, however they may not realize the amount of knowledge that they provide these organizations in return. Looking at producers of information, the role of Marine Care Ricketts Point and Yarra Riverkeeper are more likely currently perceived as more equal flows of knowledge than the map shows, with both having a disproportionate flow of information to the EcoCentre. The most disproportionate flow out of these most well connected organizations is the flow of knowledge with the Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning with five flows of knowledge going into the organization with only two being received by the EcoCentre.

Knowledge Flow Map Connection Types and Descriptions: The EcoCentre itself produces 141 flows of knowledge out with a return of 87 flows, and 106 mutual flows, a total of 334 connections according to our research, showing that the EcoCentre as a whole is a greater source of knowledge rather than a recipient, and does a great deal of cooperation with other organizations (see table B for the breakdown of the knowledge flow with the EcoCentre by knowledge type).

Political Advocacy and Development is one of the most effective ways to bring about systemic change. As the EcoCentre is not a high level governmental organization, the majority of flows of political advocacy and development are either out of the EcoCentre towards governmental organizations, such as the Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning, that have the power to influence legislation, or mutual advocacy/development flows with other organizations. The majority of advocacy/development flows for the EcoCentre were in the form of mutual connections. For this type of knowledge, the direction of the arrow represented one organization advocating to another organization such as the EcoCentre advocating upwards to the City of Port Phillip is an arrow from the EcoCentre to the City. A mutual flow is the result of mutual action such as the EcoCentre and the Friends of Elster Creek advocating upwards together. Scientific research is a valuable tool for creating data to support legislation and advocacy efforts. The EcoCentre has surprisingly few connections in this knowledge type. The research flows that the EcoCentre does have are in general stronger connections than other types of knowledge. However, the research is only carried out with a select group of stakeholders producing a lower amount of connections. The EcoCentre produces fewer research knowledge flows than they receive from other organizations, explained by the kind of relationship that they have in the citizen science area. The EcoCentre collects data for them such as the Yarra Riverkeepers, before passing this research along to groups such as the Environmental Protection Authority for Victoria, showing that the EcoCentre is in some ways a transition point where data is collected and then relayed onwards to larger often government organizations. For scientific research a directional flow is representative of an organization sending collected research or data to another organization with a mutual flow representing organizations conducting research together. The EcoCentre’s deepest flow of knowledge came in the form of Event/Project Cooperation where the EcoCentre created many more flows than they received, however they cooperated on their majority of event flows. As many of the EcoCentre’s activities correspond to running programs or events this is not surprising. Examples of event/project cooperation flows out of the EcoCentre were when the EcoCentre delivered a program for a sponsor such as Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation, or hosted corporate volunteers at businesses such as AGL Energy. A flow into the EcoCentre represented another organization, such as The Connies providing their services at EcoCentre run events or projects. A mutual flow in this case was a co-hosted event or project such as projects conducted with Sustainability Victoria. Sustainability Networking is also a major component to what the EcoCentre provides to stakeholders. This was mentioned several times during interviews by important stakeholders, however failed to appear often with only 48 flows in total. This may be a result of several aspects: either networking is not a common service as implied in interviews, or this networking is done on an unofficial basis and thus, not represented in our research for the majority of stakeholders. Of those recorded here, the EcoCentre received about double the networking knowledge than they produced, but also cooperate quite often with mutual flows of networking. Consulting was the second most common type of knowledge recorded on the map with over one in five flows being of this type. The most common direction of a consulting flow, by a factor of 4, was a directional flow from the EcoCentre to another organization. This showed that the EcoCentre is a large scale consultant for over a fifth of all of their stakeholders. Consulting in this case represented the EcoCentre giving advice, expertise, mentoring, or methodical knowhow to another organization. Examples of these included the EcoCentre giving advice on sustainable gardening, giving the methodology for carrying out a research project, or mentoring students from one of several universities. Finally, publicity is a very important knowledge flow for an organization that seeks to maximize their reach and influence. The flows of publicity for the EcoCentre mostly originated from other organizations, showing that the EcoCentre received more publicity for their actions than they gave to other organizations. These flows of publicity come from whenever another organization mentioned what the EcoCentre was doing via social media, in the news, 69

on the radio, or in other courses of their activities. A directional arrows represented the organization where the arrow originated from giving publicity to the organization that the arrow pointed to.

Knowledge Flow Map Evaluation of Stakeholder Node Sizes: On the knowledge flow map, the size of a stakeholder node corresponded proportionally to the amount of effort that the EcoCentre put into maintaining that relationship, with a larger stakeholder node representing a relationship requiring more effort. The two largest stakeholders in terms of effort (City of Port Phillip, and Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning) on the knowledge flow map were expectedly two of the most well connected to the EcoCentre. This suggested that these organizations, though costly to maintain the relationship, do provide a great deal in knowledge to the EcoCentre, or received a great deal of knowledge, helping to justify this effort. The EcoCentre also had numerous organizations requiring less than 20 hours of effort a year that were very well connected with knowledge flows, and were located towards the center. This showed that in order to have a large flow of knowledge, a great deal of time spent on maintaining the relationship was not always required, and that there were other factors affecting the effort.

Identifying Black Holes and Gaps on the Knowledge Flow Map: Black holes on this knowledge flow map were organizations that received a great deal of knowledge from the EcoCentre, yet provided very little knowledge in return. The following organizations met the definition of black holes: Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning, Environmental Protection Authority, and Kingston City Council. The Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning, had two regular strength directional connections, one deep, and one opportunistic coming from the EcoCentre, with only one regular strength mutual and one opportunistic flow in return. This showed a very large amount of information coming from the EcoCentre with very little returning. This is due to the Department’s status as a large government agency, the target of advocacy and research from the EcoCentre, two categories of knowledge that are not produced by the department. The department instead relies on other organizations (such as the EcoCentre) for these types of knowledge. Though explainable due to the department’s status as a government organization, this organization was still the largest black hole on this map. Similarly, the other two listed organizations were also one government agency, and one city council, both of which were more in the position of sponsoring events, or receiving flows of knowledge such as research or advocacy that they were unable to return. These relationships can be strengthened or made less disproportionate if these organizations were to provide greater amounts of publicity or networking knowledge, types of knowledge that these larger organizations could easily provide. There were very few gaps shown by this knowledge flow map, defined by large flows of a particular type of knowledge originating from a single source or common group of sources that would be disastrous if lost. This lack of gaps indicated a healthy variety of sources instead of overdependence on a few particular organizations for each type of knowledge. One potential gap was the amount of research that the EcoCentre received from universities and technical schools (TAFEs). This group provided four of the 14 scientific research flows into the EcoCentre, including three regular strength flows, representing a significant amount of research knowledge, one that would be disastrous to lose. One of the other large sources of research are from the related organizations of Beach Patrol Australia and Love Our Street which both had regular strength research flows. Similarly, two of the riverkeepers, the Werribee and Yarra Riverkeepers each had a deep research flow further adding to the knowledge gap with the flow of scientific research. If any of these organizations were to cut ties with the EcoCentre, a great deal of research knowledge would be lost. This should be a focus area for maintaining relationships, losing these partnerships would significantly reduce the EcoCentre’s flow of scientific research knowledge. Out of the six types of knowledge flow, these gaps in scientific research were the only gaps located on the map.

Part K - Knowledge Flow Between Stakeholder Groups

Figure 1: Knowledge Flow Map Between Stakeholders

The flows between different organizations and groups of organizations are shown in Figure 1. This map follows the same key as the first knowledge map, however this map shows the knowledge flows between the grouped stakeholders rather than focusing on connections with the EcoCentre. The group with the largest number of connections is connected to 14 other groups and organizations through all six types of knowledge flows represented on the map: events, networking, publicity advocacy, consulting, and research.

Evaluation of Event/Project Cooperation Flows: There are 24 flows for events represented on the map in Figure 2. There is no one organization or group that has the most connections to others, but schools, waterkeepers/riverkeepers, and groups focused on marine pollution each have three flows in to them. The Victorian Litter Action Alliance (VLAA) and Sustainability Victoria (SV) are connected by a mutual flow, with no other event flows represented on the map going in or out of either organization. VLAA is a branch of SV, so naturally these two collaborate on numerous events, as shown in Figure . Schools get event input from Research Groups, Organizations Focused on Marine Pollution, and Education Support Organizations, so there is input from varied sources of not just one focus or sector.

Figure 2: Network map showing event/project cooperation flows

Evaluation of Sustainability Networking Flows: There are 29 flows for networking represented on the map in Figure 3. The most noticeable feature on this map is the number of connections stemming from and going to Waterkeepers/Riverkeepers. There are 2 mutual flows and 5 going out. The two mutual flows are from Governmental Water Management Organizations and Climate Change Focused Groups, indicating that the networking that Waterkeepers/Riverkeepers receive from those organizations is reciprocated, resulting in a shared network or connections. Four of the flows going out towards groups of other environmental areas of focus: landcare, biodiversity, local urban sustainability, and Friends of Groups. This makes sense in that the waters and rivers the Waterkeepers/Riverkeepers are in charge of affecting lots of other environmental areas, so by expanding their network to them, they can further their organizational cause. The other flow goes towards city councils, which has the second largest number of flows going in and out of it. There are 3 mutual flows, 2 going out, and 1 coming in. This shows that City Councils both receive and provide networking information with other groups, which is important for local governments. Trusts/Funds/Foundations only has flows going outwards, indicating that they are the ones providing networking opportunities or information for other groups

or organizations. As organizations who are often funders for a number of projects with various other organizations, it makes sense that they have a lot of networking knowledge to share with others.

Figure 3: Network map showing sustainability networking flows.

Evaluation of Publicity Knowledge Flows: There are 16 flows for publicity represented on the map in Figure 4. There are two distinct sections on the map: the larger one with many connections, and a much smaller section that includes just three groups or organizations and two flows.The smaller section shows CERES with two flows going out to schools and Education Support Organizations. This makes sense looking at it from CERES’s point of view, as education is one of their main educational focuses. It is interesting, however, that there is no other publicity coming into or out of that small section of the map. On the other part of the map, VLAA has the most connections, four flows going out, and one mutual flow. The one mutual flow is with SV, which further affirms the point made about event & project cooperation, but in a different context. The collaboration on publicity is likely due to VLAA being a branch of SV. City councils has the next highest number, with two flows in and two flows out. The two flows in come from Climate Change Focused Groups and VLAA, and the two flows out go towards Local Urban Sustainability Focus and Boon Wurrung Foundation. This could be that the city councils get publicity information from groups that know more about it, and then pass that along to those organizations who may not have the most knowledge on publicity.

Figure 4: Network map showing publicity flows.

Evaluation of Advocacy Knowledge Flows: There are 27 flows for policy advocacy and development represented on the map in Figure 5. The most notable area on this map is DELWP: It has 9 flows going in but only 4 arrows going out. This presents DELWP as a hub for advocacy coming into the organization. Governmental Water Management Organizations also shows this disproportion of advocacy coming in but not as much going out: there are 3 flows coming and only one mutual flow. Most of the flows are concentrated around the governmental and various environmental focused groups. Trusts/Funds/Foundations has no advocacy flows and schools only has 1 mutual flow into it. This shows that advocacy is largely achieved by having strong support for making policy changes (the government’s area) by having the push for a specific focus (the various groups with varying environmental focuses).

Figure 5: Network map showing policy advocacy and development flows.

Evaluation of Consulting Knowledge Flows: There are 11 flows for consulting represented on the map in Figure 6. Schools has the most number of flows connected to the group. All 5 of those flows are going into the schools, which shows that the schools are receiving consulting from various outside sources. The Boon Wurrung Foundation has 3 flows coming out of it and no flows going in, thus showing they are more of the providers of consulting for other organizations, like schools.

Figure 6: Network map showing consulting flows.

Evaluation of Scientific Research Knowledge Flows: There are 26 flows for scientific research represented on the map in Figure 7. The most notable feature of this map is the number of connections on Waterkeepers/Riverkeepers, which has 4 mutual flows and one flow out. This shows the network of research knowledge from Waterkeepers/Riverkeepers being shared with other organizations, the mutual flows being with environmentally focused groups and government organizations. The one-way flow out goes to DELWP, also a government organization. Research groups has 2 mutual flows and one flow out, also to DELWP. All of the research arrows are on the side of government groups and environmentally focused groups, much like how the concentration of advocacy flows was around the same area.

Part M - Sponsor Description

As a non-profit organization in Port Phillip, the EcoCentre has a vision in connecting the public of the Melbourne area to the environment. They aspire to build relationships with the public through education and sustainable environmental practice demonstrations. Their mission statement is: “to build relationships to inspire, educate and demonstrate sustainable environmental practice and reconnect people to the natural world”. (Strategic Plan 2015-2018). The EcoCentre is structured as an “umbrella” regional environmental organization. The EcoCentre is a 6-star level green facility, the highest level attainable under the Green Star sustainability rating system. (Annual Report 2016-2017). According to their Strategic Plan for the years 2015-2018, their business is divided into four objectives. They aim to educate the community, promote the importance of global environmental care, continue building strategic partnerships for social impacts, and maintain their effective development (Strategic Plan 2015-2018). The organization includes a few different levels of labor division with 18 key staff/facilitators, 10 committee members, and 3 public fund managers (Annual Report 2016-2017). The EcoCentre also recruits civilian volunteers for its programs (Strategic Plan 2015). Moreover, they have different divisions of partnership organizations with the community, including affiliated groups and business partners, community partners, and major partners. They receive their funding through services that they provide, grants from local and state governments, and partnerships and individual donations, which are all tax deductible under Australian Environmental law (Annual Report 2016-2017). The EcoCentre currently partners with a variety of environmental, ecologically active, and animal rights based organizations in and around Melbourne. Organizations such as Animal Liberation Victoria, Australia Coastal Society LTD Victorian Chapter, and Australian Landcare International are all current affiliates of the EcoCentre and participate in programs (Annual Report 2016-2017). Other groups based in Australia that are not currently associated with the EcoCentre include Wildlife Victoria, Australian Conservation Foundation, Friends of the Earth, and others who focus on community action and involvement for environmental causes (Environment Victoria 2017). The EcoCentre offers a wide variety of events, from children friendly activities, local community drives, and corporate engagement events. One such event, The Turn Off the Tap, is a community event that brought together many different peoples from the Port Phillips community to clean up litter around the city and beach areas (Annual Report 2016-2017) . More kid-friendly programs that the EcoCentre hosts are Zero Waste Birthday Parties, which give party attendees the opportunity to create puppets out of recycled and reused materials (EcoCentre 2017).

In conclusion, EcoCentre is a non profit environmental organization dedicated to

inspiring, educating, and reconnecting people to the natural world and encouraging sustainability. They have a variety of partnerships and connections in the local Port Phillips community and around Australia that fund and support their goals.
