Abstract
Per Kotter’s eight-step model for leading change, there is a need for a guiding coalition, which is a social network of agents for change. The proposed presentation discusses a computational approach to describing the potential of a network’s structural position for organizational influence. A simulation of an exemplary index capable of such analysis is presented by the combination of widely accepted social network measures. RStudio was used for the necessary calculations and the social network visualizations.
