Overview: With efforts to de-layer organizations and reduce functional boundaries, coordination and work of importance increasingly occur through networks of informal relations rather than channels tightly prescribed by formal reporting structures or detailed work processes. This paper outlines how social network analysis can be effective in: Promoting collaboration within a strategically important group; Supporting critical junctures in networks that cross functional, hierarchical or geographic boundaries and Ensuring integration of a network following restructuring or other strategic change initiatives. By making informal networks visible, social network analysis helps managers systematically assess and support strategically important collaboration.
