Organizations must transform themselves to survive in this new world. In order to be dynamic and adaptable, companies need to rely on networks of informal and virtual relationships, rather than traditional, formal structures.

In most cases, leaders lack visibility into these informal relationships and, as a result, they are making decisions with blinders on. Uncovering the informal networks that exist equips leaders to make better business decisions, through a better understanding of their networks.
