Method of analyzing information flow within an organization

A method of analyzing information flow within an organization, comprising:

• defining a three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization including interconnections between organizational elements of the organization;
• processing data flow based on a set of known rules relating to information flow via the interconnections and based upon a flow structure through the organization, so as to simulate moving in time through organizational data upon the set of known rules, from a first endpoint data in order to generate a second endpoint data, the second endpoint data one of forward and backward in time relative to the first endpoint data;
• verifying the second endpoint data against a predetermined outcome;
• and,
• providing an indication of the result of verifying.

A method of analyzing information flow within an organization, comprising:

• defining interconnections between data nodes belonging to a first organizational chart of the organization and data nodes belonging to a second organizational chart of the organization, the defined interconnections for correlating the first organizational chart and the second organizational chart in three-dimensions so as to provide a three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization;
• correlating a three-dimensional visualization of a computer and information technology network of the organization with the three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization, comprising defining other interconnections relating to node access to the computer and information technology network of the organization;
• establishing rules relating to the interconnections and to the other interconnections, the rules based upon a deterministic reporting process;
• verifying a set of reporting process values against the three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization following the rules established for the interconnections and for the other interconnections;
• and,
• providing an indication of the result of verifying.
