You are new to HR Analytics, data science, machine learning and are looking for challenges to get experience with real-life examples.
In your third challenge, you will analyse an organisational network! How cool is that!
Visualising and analysing formal and informal relationships in your organisation can help to shape a business strategy that maximises the organic exchange of information, thereby helping the business to become more sustainable and effective.
In this challenge, we ask you to submit an R markdown or a Jupyter Notebook that analyses an organisational network. It will be your own very professional recommendation on how best to organise the network from a Human Resources point of view! You are free to analyse whatever aspect you wish.
On this occasion, you will be analysing a group of 50 persons, but in real life, you might be analysing a much bigger group.
You are free to get inspiration from Shirin Glander’s excellent blog post or quickly learn more about organisational networks. Please find here an explanation on how I created the competition dataset.

The competition was launched officially on 3rd March 2019 and closed 28th April 2019. About two handfuls of participants from all over the world submitted their ONA. If you still want to work on the dataset, download is still enabled.
I am pleased to announce that Ricardo Nardaci won the competition and happily received the winning prize. Ricardo submitted an excellent analysis, which can be downloaded here. Ricardo is a bachelor student in Statistics at UERJ (Rio de Janeiro University) and has been working as an intern in people analytics at Oi, a Brazilian telecom company, for the last 7 months.
Ricardo would like to thank Fernando do Valle, who was his first manager at Oi and helped him getting into people analytics and who sent him the competition link, and José Pessanha, who is his professor at UERJ, inspiration for him to learn R language and now his monograph counselor.
How do you cheer in Brazilian? Vamos lá Brasil! Well done everybody.
