Summary
Organisational Radiologist and Social Business Evangelist For the majority of my career I have worked inside, researched and consulted to large complex organisations. A long time ago I became convinced that it was the relationship networks that these organisations sustained, more so than their formal structures and processes, that made all the difference. I have been employing social/organisational network analysis techniques to business problems for over 20 years now. After conducting over 100 Social Network Analysis projects in our consulting company Optimice, we spun out the product company SWOOP Analytics in 2014, which derives real time feedback from interactions conducted on collaboration platforms like Yammer, Teams and Workplace by Facebook (so far). How I help Organisations Pivoting from a management consultant to a chief data analytics scientist, I now provide advice directly through the SWOOP dashboard. Social analytics are provided at the personal, group/team, business segment and enterprise levels. I also co-author the world's largest benchmarking studies using actual operational data from collaboration platforms. We are currently providing 3 annual reports for the Microsoft Yammer, Teams and Workplace by Facebook platforms. We openly share our thoughts and case studies and blogs on our web site: http://www.swoopanalytics.com.
