CHCI Webcast - Leading in a Connected World
Rob Cross of the University of Virginia, is the world's foremost leader in social and organizational network analysis. He has worked with dozens of the world's largest and most successful organizations to help them understand the impact of their "Informal Organizations". Successful government managers must understand the complex networks at play among the workforce to know how information flows and work really gets done. In this webcast we describe how organizational network analysis identifies the connectors and hubs of information flow in an organization and how an active leader can influence informal networks to accelerate change, onboard employees faster, identify future leaders, transfer knowledge, improve performance and build more effective teams. To illustrate, we share the results of a recent ONA project directed by Rob Cross and Ray Horoho of the Civilian Development Office of the United States Army.

While hundreds or even thousands of applications may be received for any given job requisition, it is uncertain whether the right people are being hired. Indeed, according to a 2009 study, only 39 percent of Federal employees believe their work unit is hiring people with the right skills. In this issue paper, we examine the problem and make recommendations for a hiring system appropriate to the needs of today’s public service.
