• Abstract:
  Organizational network analysis (ONA) consists of gathering data on information sharing and ; connectivity in a group, calculating network measures, creating network maps, and using this ; information to analyze and improve the functionality of the group. ONA was conducted for two ; functional groups in the WSDOT. The overall organizational health of these networks, as defined by ; network indicators, is positive, with a large percentage of individuals indicating others in their network ; were effective at providing information necessary to get their work done. Some individuals were over ; or under-connected in their networks. Both networks would benefit from identifying network functions ; and members more explicitly through a accessible and stable resource. Development of communities ; of practice in core strategic functions of both groups would facilitate productive interactions.
