This is not a legend any more! This is a new generation’s computerized system…

… mapping our organization’s “task environment”, identifying emerging threats; unexpected results etc….

5TECI

Such systems already exist. They are available, relatively inexpensive, and open up new work directions

They are built on networks, & analyzed by algorithms.

Let’s start from the beginning…

6TECI

Our Management world is facing a revolution that will intensify in the coming years

7TECI

In one word: NETWORKS!

8TECI

A network is a series of nodes, interconnected by communication paths

Nodes

Interconnectivity

9TECI

This revolution did not emerge from Management Theory. It originated in other disciplines

Complexity Theories

Mathematics

Graph Theory Networks Theory

Cybernetics

10TECI

The Internet

era

Social Network

Analysis – SNA

Organizational Network

Analysis - ONA

The great catalyst was the Internet…

11TECI

The pioneers of networks’ research are the security & intelligence’s organizations

12TECI

Our Revolution is based on three networking system's features:

Visualiz-ation

The network reflects

the system features

Measur-ement

13TECI

1. The network reflects the system's features

If I can convert organization into a network – I can get a “quantum leap”!

14TECI

Visualization

Visualization presents complex data in a simple

way, graphic representation can provide insights,

that information or data can not express in a clear

and convenient way.

15TECI

For example: Two organizations from the same field of Occupation

• Good communication between branches

• Free data transfer

• Communication through management only;

• A cutout between branches

16TECI

3. Measurement of “soft measures”power, influence, cooperation, “bottle necks” and even leadership of individuals and departments

17TECI

Periodic inspection of the network discovers emerging threats on time

18TECI

Second test: We discovered connections between departments

19TECI

Third test: A union has emerged!

20TECI

This change has an absolute advantage, in time, quality and cost, over the current situation

21TECI

What will this change do to managers,To HR & to Organizational consultants?

22TECI

How it will change management studies in universities?

23TECI

Only time can tell…
