Net-Map is an interview-based mapping tool that helps people understand, visualize, discuss, and improve situations in which many different actors influence outcomes. 
Paolo Brunello presented his Net-Map experience in ICT in Burundi at the International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development in Doha. But as you watch this
or read this (161 KB), you will see how this is not so much a presentation of empirical research but much more a very interesting philosophical deliberation aiming at embedding a tool like this in a theoretical context.
I greatly enjoyed the use of pictures and humor in his presentation, showing how context determines relationships determines content. And examining the relationship between positivist and non-positivist approaches of researchers – with a whiff of Chanell No5 (see heading).
