" A proximity map is a visual representation of the people involved in a particular situation, and their relative influence. The map is divided into three concentric circles. The inner circle represents the people who are most directly involved in the situation, and the outer circle represents the people who are least involved. The people in the middle circle are those who are somewhat involved. The lines between the circles represent the strength of the relationships between the people. The thicker lines represent stronger relationships, and the thinner lines represent weaker relationships. The proximity map can be used to identify the people who are most likely to be influenced by a particular message or campaign. It can also be used to identify the people who are most likely to resist change. Here are some tips for using a proximity map: * Use it to identify the key players in a situation. * Use it to understand the relationships between the people involved. * Use it to identify the people who are most likely to be influenced by a particular message or campaign. * Use it to identify the people who are most likely to resist change. * Use it to develop strategies for influencing people. Proximity maps are a valuable tool for understanding the dynamics of a particular situation and for developing strategies for influence."
