SHL Logo <http://www.shlgroup.com/emailfiles/shllogo.gif> Hi, I have a few questions about using an personal (ego) network approach for ONA work. At least from...
Hi Steven, In my consulting days, I've used personal network data to map knowledge flow within a business unit. By tracking specifically not just who one ...
And, you can collect ego network data from a group and combine them to get a whole network picture [or a very good approximation]... like we did here... this...
Hi, Steven, You are right that people often overlook the importance of the ego network in the discussions of organizational network analysis. When I teach the...
Hi, Great to hear that there seems to be quite a bit of personal network- related work happening. It seems a good way to get people to feel more personally...
Yes, this is the best way to do ONA... a nice combination of bounded [what is known] and unbounded [what is to be discovered]. You don't have to box yourself...
I think it is very interesting to collect ego networks data and combine them into a whole network ... but you must completely trust your "ego" answers. I mean...
Each situation is different... sometimes you verify the links, other times that is not necessary [not enough benefit for the time required]. The network...
Ron Burt has done work in this area. Also, many people think that Meyers-Briggs type indicators will correlate with network position... but no research that I...
Regarding personality and network measures, see Mehra, A., Kilduff, M & Brass, D. (2001): The Social Networks of High and Low Self Monitors: Implications for...
This may be a bit of an extension on the question of personal networks within group networks, but here I'm looking for specific advice about how to frame a...
Groups are difficult to estimate time with... individuals may be easier [and more accurate!]. Then, knowing which individual belongs to which group, you can...
Interesting... Ron Burt and Don Ronchi did a study about teaching execs about social capital... I think @ Raytheon. By the teaching execs to be aware of social...
So what were the problems with your original question? I have used the survey monkey question that forces respondents to apportion say 100 percentage points to...
I think Burt & Ronchi stayed away from the personality components in their analysis, but I need to re-read that article. Indeed, the combination of the...
Patti, what has always worked for me (though in a more classic consulting context rather than specifically in netowrk surveys) has been quantifying for...
I agree with Andrew -- the more specific, the less abstract, the better. That is why the default link strengths in InFlow are... 1. yearly or less 2....
In addition to the Mehra et al article, there are also a few other papers that show relationships between personal characteristics and network position. Kalish...
Thank you Giancarlo and others for your feedback on my correlation question. Two points to take this further: 1) Valdis, you mention a study pointing to no...
ONA-prac Hello, It has been quite educative for me to be on the ONA-Prac. I have leant a lot watching from the sidelines. After the first introductory mail, I...
Hi Patti, I recently did a project where we looked at the flow of ideas within a group in a large health organisation. This particular group of about 100...
Hi Patti, dpending on what you are trying to discover, one way you might consider approaching this survye would be to invite respondents to rank the groups in...
Diana, These are very good suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to write this up, I think it's helpful for all the practitioners out here. Best, patti ...
I've found this discussion very interesting and have joined the group as a result! I'd like to turn the question around a little and ask whether you know of...
Very interesting question. In my consulting activities the combination of structural and personal characteristics will be next step, but I have not yet...
Hi, all, On the subject of personal networks (this may be a bit off this topic), does anyone know of a web site where a person could go to create a personal ...
