'Reality Mining' the Organization
by Jeremy at 8:14 pm EDT, Apr 4, 2004

Data mining is a start, but it misses the critical pieces of information that are transmitted by word of mouth. Social networking systems can foster collaboration.

Studies indicate that as much as 80 percent of work time is spent in spoken conversation, and that critical pieces of information are transmitted by word of mouth in a serendipitous fashion. Fortunately, the data infrastructure for mining real-world interactions is already in place.

Commonplace wearable technology can be used to characterize the face-to-face interactions of employees -- and to map out a company's de facto organization chart.

We hope to see serious commercial applications within the year.
