| Summary: | This case centers on Alex Furman, a technologist and cofounder of the genetics testing company Invitae. It shows how Furman built Org1-Invitae's human resources information system-to suit the collaborative, non-hierarchical structure of the company. The case traces Furman's use of network graphs to identify who worked with whom and to find 'quiet influencers' who might not be readily visible in the organization. The case asks students whether people analytics technology solutions are best suited to inform leaders or to guide their decisions. While discussing some of the use cases of this approach at Invitae, the case leads students to the bigger question of whether a 'home-grown' technology system can continue to grow and expand within a single company, or whether it requires more dedicated focus and resources to succeed. |
