OrgOrgChart: The Dynamic Organization of an Organization by Andrew Vande Moere.

From the post:

The Organic Organization Chart [autodeskresearch.com], developed by Justin Matejka at Autodesk Research, shows what a Human Resources manager dreams at night.

The animated force-directed network diagram shows how a company’s structure evolves over time, here the daily organizational changes within the company Autodesk over the last 4 years.

The entire hierarchy of AutoDesk is constructed as a single tree with each employee represented by a circle, and a line connecting each employee with his or her manager. Larger circles represent managers with more employees working under them.

Occurs to me that a similar diagram could be useful in tracking the flow of information from one person to another. By adding in email, phone and observed personal contacts.

Say from an internal briefing to a leak, for example.

Impressive demonstration of changes over time. Very impressive.
