In this session, participants will explore the concept of Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) and its role in enhancing decision-making. Participants will delve into the fundamentals of ONA, including network mapping and social roles at work. Real-world examples will be shared to illustrate how ONA has been successfully utilized to improve decision-making processes. Case studies and examples will further demonstrate how ONA has improved decision-making in various organizations. Participants will engage in a practical application exercise, working in small groups to brainstorm how ONA can be applied in common decision-making scenarios.

This session can be a 1-hour workshop or a 2.5-hour workshop. First delivered in 2023 at a SHRM Annual Conference, this session helps leaders begin to explore People Analytics and Organizational Network Analysis.
