Cortex the tool and method for organisational network analysis by Simpple.
Organisational network analysis (ONA) provides an “x-ray” and quantitative indicators of the internal operation of an organisation, modelling each member as a node in a network of communication or personal interaction.
The way organisations operate today has very little to do with the traditional hierarchical business structure. The way in which responsibility, influence and power are distributed throughout a large group of individuals is more complex than a simple pyramid structure, due to the social networks formed by these people.
Social networks formed by the people who make up an organisation are a company asset i.e. its social capital. Analysing the social networks in an organisation is a way of revealing the intricacies of its internal operation, a way of measuring its social capital.
Working together, working as a team, exchanging information, valuing efficiency, working in a network …. Is this the reality of today’s organisations? The present and the future of business lie in understanding the social networks within an organisation; it is the fastest and most efficient way to increase your team’s productivity.
