To create a networking, the recipe is simple. You need appropriately selected skilled people (processor nodes) and well- serving clever channels (connecting arcs) collected for common goals and tasks, problems and solutions. Then you start learning this peculiar neural network by solving complex (including targeted) tasks on a sample of good (including bad) examples. So you need resources as well. Finally add intellectual flavor – to taste. And your network is ready to work…

But the secret to successful networking is more complex. It should be sought in the skillful development of the adaptive capabilities of the already established network. What are the drop-off rules and the filters to include other members? How are they trained? How do the relationships between them evolve? What kind of reflexes does the network acquire when the external environment is changed, at internal interference, when adjusting goals, tasks and resources? And adaptive abilities are acquired through expert teaching and intensive training in solving real casework. Or, like the sustainable living organisms, in networking the secret to success is = symbiosis + adaptation + evolution.
