How Org Charts Lie

How Org Charts Lie är ett utdrag från boken The Hidden Power of Social Networks: Understanding How Work Really Gets Done in Organizations av Rob Cross och Andrew Parker.

The results of this organization's social network analysis are fairly typical. Even in small, contained groups, executives are often surprised by patterns of collaboration that are quite different from their beliefs and from the formal organization chart. Getting an accurate view of a network helps with managerial decision making and informs targeted efforts to promote effective collaboration. Rather than leave the inner workings of a network to chance, executives can leverage the insights of a social network analysis to address critical disconnects or rigidities in networks and create a sense-and-respond capability deep within the organization.
