"Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the
fairest of them all“?

4TECI
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…
