Visualizing zero-sum institutional conflict is really hard outside of simple cases like board control. You could color code org charts by tribe etc, but doesn’t really get at how key tactics, like cutting off budgets, weaponized role transfers/reorgs, HR chokepoints work.

One reason gervais principle was so surprisingly popular is that it was based on an actual conflict-theory map, if only a cartoon one. Sociopaths/clueless/losers is a conflict map. Most org maps are mistake-theory maps. But isomorphism of “class” are too simple for detailed use

I wonder if you could figure that out by looking at emails and schedules. Could you figure out corporate maneuvers by looking at something like the Sony email files? I’m conflicted about using the stolen material but I have been tempted.

Data is obtainable and analyzable. What’s lacking is good cartographic theory. You can look at a chess board and assess conflict state at a glance. At least good players can, not me. You can’t do that with any representation of an org.
