  • Patent number: 10867269
    Abstract: A system and methods for generating an interaction-weighted visualization of an organization or group, with the relationships between members being based on or weighted by the amount, type, degree, or significance of interactions between them and the flow of communications between members, etc. In some embodiments, this may have the form of a tree structure with nodes representing employees being connected by branches. The size, color, or number of branches may indicate characteristics of the interactions between the connected nodes (e.g., the frequency, importance, or topic of the interactions, etc.). For some purposes this provides a more accurate and realistic view of how information and communications move within an organization. It may also be used to provide insight into the strength of certain relationships, the degree of involvement of certain people or groups in implementing policies or in making decisions, or the relative importance of certain communication channels.
