Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you my organization charting/ visualization project. I started working on this for an organizational research class, but I though that it could potentially be useful in other scenarios (e.g. consulting or sales) so I developed it further.

Right now the script takes into account mainly the person's job title and the location. Job titles are matched against a library of macro positions, to understand the functional role. Location is normalized and then used to identify offices, countries and regions and group accordingly. These data are then fed into a random forest algo that sketches out a best guess of the lines of reporting.

Hope you guys will find it interesting/ useful and if you have any feedback I'd love to hear!

Would love to see it in action by after pressing getting started nothing happens.

    Oh that's weird, I'll definitely check! I only tested it on Chrome from pc & mac and is working well. Note: I suggest you give it a go from a laptop, the visualization is not yet optimized for smartphone
