It is often argued that efficient collaboration is the key for successful organizations. However, achieving efficient collaboration still represents a challenge for most organizations. Often, hidden involuntary behaviors (also known as behavioral risks), threat efficient collaboration in a blink of an eye. Either by the lack of supportive models to manage sscollaboration or due to misunderstandings of what the different dimensions of collaboration are and represent, most organizations fear the engagement in collaborative approaches due the high chances of failure. In this work is proposed a heuristic model to identify organizational collaborative risks by applying social network analysis . This work aims to illustrate how organizations can benefit from the application of social network analysis in the efficient identification and management of collaborative risks. A case study illustrates the application of the proposed model in this work.
