A highly customised survey

Using a short survey, and powerful data analytics, Network Centrality maps the collective relationship resources between individuals and teams. This computational analysis is visualized in graph form and measures the strength of each person’s role within the network.

Survey

Imagine that we have 161 sales representatives in a FMCG organisation. How might Network Centrality support the Talent Identification and Management process?

What might we find?

Many of our clients struggle to find the right talent to lead the organisation in the future. Network Centrality can be used as a tool to identify talent and future leaders by finding individuals with the greatest Social Quotient (SQ) – the ability to influence others and collaborate effectively. Individuals with greater SQ are more likely to perform effectively as leaders than individuals with lower SQ. In this illustration, the individuals highlighted in blue nodes have high SQ scores, and would therefore be considered talent.
