Question 1

What is The Org?

Accepted Answer

The Org is the world’s largest network of public org charts. The company was founded in 2017 by Christian Wylonis and Andreas Jarbøl with a mission to make organizations more transparent. The company has 10 employees split between New York and Copenhagen.

Question 2

Why do companies want to have a public org chart on The Org?

Accepted Answer

Companies want to have a public org chart to improve internal and external collaboration. Org charts have historically been an internal collaboration tool but making org charts public unlocks external collaboration between companies. It also allows organizations to take control of their public team information rather than leaving it up to individuals on LinkedIn.

Question 3

Should I be afraid of my employees being poached on The Org?

Accepted Answer

Employee information is already available on LinkedIn so exposing the data on The Org poses no additional risk of your employees being poached. The only difference is that the information on LinkedIn is outside the control of your company, which allows people to lie (or embellish) about their association with your organization.

Question 4

How much does The Org cost?

Accepted Answer

The Org is free to use. Users can upgrade to paid subscriptions to unlock advanced features and higher usage plans. Prices range from $29 per seat/month for the basic subscription to $79 per seat/month (minimum 10 seats) for the enterprise subscription. There are free trials available for new subscribers.

Question 5

Is The Org legal?

Accepted Answer

The Org only processes public professional data regardless of where an individual is based. This includes, but is not limited to, employing company, job title, and professional contact information. The Org does not provide or collect private consumer data, which includes, but is not limited to, age, health, web browsing history, health records, or economic status.

Question 6

Where does data on The Org come from?

Accepted Answer

Data on The Org comes from a variety of sources including publicly available pages on the internet (company websites, press releases, and social media) and an active community of contributors. Users can join their company (using their company email address) and make edits to the org chart. This user generated data is what sets The Org apart from competitors.

Question 7

How accurate is The Org?

Accepted Answer

The accuracy of org charts depends on whether the company is verified or unverified. Verified companies (with a blue check mark) have been claimed by the company so the accuracy should be close to 100%. Unverified companies (with a grey check mark) are based on publicly available data and AI. The Org’s technology is able to identify a person’s manager with 42% accuracy.
