Why an Organizational Diagnostic is critical to making your teams work.

Let’s be honest: It’s hard to change organizational processes and behavior. Even if you correctly identify the root of the problem, good luck getting consensus that you’re right. And even if you do, prioritizing and aligning which roadblocks to focus on first to operate as a high performing team is impossible without a data-driven approach.

Change requires a data-driven approach. That’s why we combine data and hard-won experience to tackle behavior change.

You can change the processes and behaviors that are holding your teams back. We’ll show you the numbers and recommendations to prove it.

Network Analysis

In its most basic form, organizational network analysis is a data-driven study of the individuals or groups within an organization and the links or connections between them.

Leaders can leverage network analysis to understand the following: how knowledge flows through their teams, the key individuals throughout their network who speed up or slow down certain processes and information, and the challenges they need to address to facilitate those flows and processes.

This can help drive revenue growth, promote quicker innovation, improve organizational performance through stronger communication and collaboration, and drive organizational transformation.

We know from experience that no matter how effective, most leaders do not understand their networks unless they have done a thorough data analysis. We can change that.

Example Output

Network Analysis allows us to understand how the organization’s network truly communicates outside of the standard hierarchical chart—starting with two simple questions:

Who do you go to as a good source of information or help?
Who do you need more access to in order to accomplish your business objectives?

From those questions, McChrystal Group analyzes communication patterns, identifying information flows, decision making pathways, and bottlenecks.
