WHAT WE DO

Three areas of network intelligence

The right approach depends on the decision you need to make: understand how your organization works, map the external ecosystem, or connect both.

Organizational Network Analysis (ONA)

We map internal collaboration, influence, knowledge and leadership networks. We identify key people, connections and dependencies relevant to transformation, organizational culture, change management and innovation.

Platform: Workforce Mapper

Stakeholder and influence mapping

We analyze actors, issues, narratives, relationships and networks that shape decisions and markets. Applications include public affairs, institutional relations, communications, reputation and partnership development.

Platform: Stakeholders Mapper

Integrated network intelligence

We connect internal organizational networks to customers, partners, regulators, communities and other external stakeholders when business continuity depends on relationships inside and outside the organization.

Integrated approach: Workforce Mapper + Stakeholders Mapper
