What is Organizational Network Analysis (ONA)?
Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) is a powerful analytical tool used by organizations to map and measure relationships and communication flows between individuals, teams, and departments. By visualizing and analyzing these networks, organizations gain actionable insights that drive collaboration, improve decision-making, and enhance overall performance.
Types of ONA
ONA can be categorized into two main approaches:
- Passive ONA: Leverages aggregated metadata from collaboration tools such as emails, instant messaging, or calendar data to analyze communication patterns. This method is unobtrusive and provides continuous insights without requiring direct input from employees.
- Active ONA: Involves collecting data through targeted surveys where employees nominate their connections or rate the strength of relationships. This method provides a deeper qualitative understanding of network dynamics.
Both methods offer valuable perspectives, and many organizations use a hybrid approach to maximize the benefits of ONA.
Applications of ONA
ONA is versatile and can be applied across various organizational contexts:
