Uncovering Hidden Potential: How Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) Transforms Businesses

In a world where excellence should be the standard, success isn’t just about structure—it’s about connection. Organizations thrive when information flows effectively, yet many struggle with performance plateaus and untapped potential. 

At Rooted Advisory Group, we help businesses operate smarter, adapt faster, and build a culture of excellence. One of the most powerful tools we use to achieve this is Organizational Network Analysis (ONA). 

What is ONA, and Why Does It Matter? 

ONA is a data-driven approach that visualizes how information moves within an organization. It goes beyond org charts to reveal: 

  • Who holds influence beyond their title? 
  • Where collaboration bottlenecks exist? 
  • How knowledge truly flows between teams? 

With these insights, leaders can optimize collaboration, elevate key influencers, and build a more agile, people-driven organization. 

What Our Research Reveals 

Our latest ONA research report breaks down how businesses can unlock hidden efficiencies and remove friction points in their operations. Here are some of the key takeaways: 

  • Communication isn’t just about volume—it’s about impact. More emails, meetings, or Slack messages don’t always translate to better alignment. 
  • The most valuable influencers aren’t always at the top. Often, the real connectors are within your teams, driving engagement and innovation from the inside out. 
  • Alignment and efficiency go hand in hand. When networks are optimized, businesses move faster and smarter.
