CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A mid-sized tech company wants to understand its informal communication network to improve collaboration and identify disconnected employees.

Key decisions

  • Which employees serve as informal leaders (stars) based on high in-degree and out-degree?
  • Who are the isolated employees receiving few or no interactions, risking disengagement?
  • Which individuals act as bridges between departments, and are they overloaded?

When to reuse this

This sociogram template can be reused for any team-based organizational network analysis where informal roles and cross-group ties matter, e.g., agile squads, cross-functional projects, or post-merger integration.
