    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein may represent organizations as a network, where the network nodes and links may be displayed, analyzed, and structured. The network nodes may represent positions within an organization, with network links established based on reporting relationships between such positions in the organization. A position may be filled by a person/entity, may stand for an organizational unit, may represent a leadership team, and/or may be associated with a location. In addition to position, other node types may include organizational unit, person, group, and/or place. Organization networks structured by these node types may thus have associated node modes, as in the position example. Other node types may also be used in the representation of organization. The network representation may provide network metrics for the organization, including level (the path length, or number of links, to the root node), size (the number of nodes), and span (the number of reporting relationships to each node).
