4 Organizational Network Analysis: When Cognitive Technology Helps HR to See “Beyond the Chart”

In the previous sections, challenges and opportunities of cognitive technology have been debated.

One of the most innovative functions granted by analytics to HRM is Organizational Network Analysis. Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) is a structured way to visualize how communications, information, and decisions flow through an organization. Organizational networks consist of nodes and ties, the foundation for understanding how information in organizations is flowing, can flow, and should flow (Kim et al., 2012).

The basic assumption grounding ONA is that every organization is made up of people (“nodes”) who serve as critical paths for exchange of ideas and information. Therefore, a connection delivers value when needed information is exchanged (Wasserman & Faust, 1994).

According to ONA four are the possible configurations that people might have within an organizational setting. Central node: These are the people who seem to know everyone. Central nodes share lots of information and influence groups quickly. Central nodes can be anywhere in the hierarchy of an organization, are often well-liked, and are highly engaged in company news and developments.
