iksir in HieraChart
Manage your org chart by asking; iksir prepares the change, you approve it.
iksir in HieraChart answers your org chart questions in plain language, shows the result in the chart and prepares restructuring changes in a draft version.
Today, answering "How many open positions are there in Sales?" means setting filters, browsing the chart and counting. With iksir you type the question; the answer arrives in seconds and opens in the chart with one click.
What does it deliver?
Time.
Answers by typing a question, without filters or screen hopping.
Accessibility.
Managers without technical knowledge can query the chart too.
Analysis.
Indicators such as open positions, span of control and reporting lines in a single question.
Safe changes.
Restructuring proposals are written only to a draft version, with your approval.
What can you ask?
| Topic | Example question |
|---|---|
| Overall figures | “How many employees do we have?” · “How many departments are there, and how many open positions in total?” |
| People and positions | “Who manages the Sales department?” · “Who holds this position?” |
| Reporting line | “Show this person's management chain up to the General Manager.” |
| Open positions | “Which 3 departments have the most open positions?” |
| Structure analysis | “What is the average span of control?” · “How many levels is the deepest reporting line?” |
| Budget and level | “Are there off-budget positions under this unit?” · “Show Sales as manager and above.” |
You can follow up on the previous answer ("And their manager?"). Where relevant, a button opens the result in the chart with one click; long lists open on screen and can be exported, and a unit's chart can be downloaded as an image.
