Abstract
Displaying organizational information of an entity includes storing data representing nodes associated with members of the entity in a database accessible by members of the entity. Data representing connections between the nodes that represent hierarchical relationships between the members is stored. An organizational chart comprising the nodes and connections is displayed on a presentation surface associated with a particular member of the entity. Input to create new nodes and connections is received from the particular member of the entity. When the new nodes are associated with a group that is associated with the particular member, the displayed nodes and connections are updated in response to the received input.
