Network analysis provides a unique view of talent 

A multinational automotive components firm employing more than 55,000 people had been acquired and undergone a recent major reorganisation. This prompted the CEO and VP of people to seek out the best way to improve the way people were working and enable better informed succession planning.

However, a lack of robust data on the new organisation was hampering the talent plans. The firm turned to Complete’s network analysis solution to help. The result was insights that could never have been gathered as quickly and as comprehensively. More than 16 months after the initial network analysis survey, the firm was still using the results to better inform people and organisational decisions.

Complete Network Analysis requires employees to complete a 10-minute online survey. It’s easy and fast for participants to do and this ensures a high completion rate. Survey responses are then combined with organisational data and some clever work by data scientists to create interactive, dynamic visualisations of the results. And the results provide insights across multiple areas, including:

Complete’s Network Analysis offering enabled the VP of People to gather the talent management insights she and the senior leadership team would need to be able to make informed decisions. The solution offered a detailed data set of insights into how the organisation was working and how people were connecting with each other. It would quickly lift the lid on the talent landscape and reveal who was influential in the system. The organisation could also use the network analysis data to help identify key talent.

We are grateful to have worked with the Complete team. The Complete team of consultants and data scientists were phenomenal. They put in a lot of discretionary effort to make sure the whole thing went well and made the process very smooth and easy to understand. The team had the flexibility and commitment to get us to a great outcome.
