What is SNA and ONA?
"Social Network
Analysis [SNA] and Organizational Network Analysis [ONA] consist
of mathematical and visual analysis of relationships / flows
/ influence between people, groups, organizations, computers
or other information/knowledge processing entities".
- Valdis Krebs
Networks are everywhere! In the
relationship age, networks have become the new paradigm for successfully
building and managing organizations of all sizes and types.
In the past, solving collaborative
issues was a daunting task because the tools and methodologies
were not geared towards mapping and analyzing them easily or effectively.
Since then, a new field of scientific research has evolved to
specifically deal with mapping and analyzing networks of all types.
Social and Organizational Network Analysis (SONA) enables organizations
to solve internal and external collaboration challenges visually,
objectively (data-driven analysis) and quickly.
In essence, SONA is to networks
what mapping and re-design are to processes; tool that build shared
understanding visually as well as identify opportunities for improvement.
The following diagrams outline
different networks scenarios and what their optimization can contribute
to the organization.

Manage-by-networks programs
Historically, most top performing athletes started
off with coaches to learn the right moves right from the start.
Technology Partnerz developed Manage-by-Network Programs to
accelerate a team or business unit's learning curve through a
mix of end-user training, business consulting and user coaching
over a period of several weeks.
Over the course of the program, participants solve
real business problems from their environment using Social and
Organizational Network Analysis leading to immediate short term
benefit.
Each week, participants :
- get a half day of End-User Training,
- spend a few days practicing
their new skills
- spend an hour with a coach/senior
consultant to share their experiences and difficulties working
with Social and Organizational Analysis
