In this volume, mixed methods social network analysis (MMSNA) is mainly
discussed as a powerful framework for generating scientific insight. In
this chapter, we aim to add a different facet to the discussion by
emphasizing MMSNA’s usefulness to inform organizational decision-making
and consultancy. Specifically, we give three examples of consultative
approaches using MMSNA that deal with themes of leadership,
organizational change, and innovation. We discuss the possibilities and
limitations of this method of consulting.
