At the recent [KLA](http://www.mayeticvillage.com/QuickPlace/kla/Main.nsf/h%5FToc/5da7db52f0af34cac1256c4c0001a0d5/?OpenDocument&ref=katecarruthers.com) (a.k.a. Knowledge Liberation Army) meeting in Sydney we discussed the benefits and utility of social network analysis (SNA). Apart from a moment of interest when you see the network map, what is it useful for in a business setting? My theory is that it could be useful for organisational restructures to work out the potential impacts on the non-official organisation structure.
