Can you just show me how to do that again?

Our training is just... a folder of PDFs.

The org chart in a slide deck goes stale the week it's drawn

You already have user profiles for everyone in Whale. Whale builds the org chart from those same profiles, so a change to a department or reporting line in one place reflects everywhere.

I already explained this three times this week.

We lost that process when Sarah left.

How teams do it today

A PowerPoint org chart redrawn every time someone moves

New hires asking in Slack who owns what

Reporting lines nobody can confirm across departments

Roles without documented ownership of any process

With Whale's

Org Chart

A live chart that updates the moment a profile changes

New hires find the right person on day one without asking

Departments, positions, and reporting lines in one view

Every role tied to the SOPs and training flows it owns

Who owns this process, and who do I ask

The most common question from any new hire. The org chart answers it in two clicks. Open a department, see the positions inside it, click a person to see their role and their manager. Every card on the chart is a real Whale user profile, with the same data your admins already maintain.
Role description of a Creative Director

One profile change, the whole chart updates

Move a person from Support to Customer Success, update their department, promote them into a new position. The org chart reflects the change instantly for everyone in the workspace. No redraws. No stale deck sitting on a shared drive. Whoever opens the chart gets the current structure of the company.

Every role linked to the SOPs and training it owns

Each position in the chart connects to the playbooks that role runs and the training flow a new hire on that role works through. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, answers role-specific questions from that same content. CoPilot surfaces the right SOP inside the tool where the role does the work.

How it works

Set up departments and positions

Define your departments and positions once in Whale’s admin settings. Assign each user to a department, a position, and a manager. Whale treats that data as the source for the chart.

The chart builds itself

Whale generates the interactive org chart from your user profiles. Departments, positions, and reporting lines appear in the same view, with every card linked to the person’s profile and the content their role owns.

Your team navigates and learns the company

New hires open the chart to find their manager, see the wider department, and land on the SOPs and training flow their role runs. Existing teammates use it to find the right owner for a question instead of posting in a general channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The chart is generated from Whale user profiles. Change someone’s department, position, or manager in admin settings and the chart reflects the change the next time anyone opens it. There is no separate file to redraw, no slide deck to maintain, and no export step. Admins manage structure in one place. Everyone in the workspace sees the same current version.
Yes. Each position in the chart links to the playbooks that role owns and the training flow a new hire on that role completes. A new hire opening their position in the chart lands on the exact content they need on day one. An admin auditing a role sees every SOP attached to it in one view. The connection runs both ways, so changing the role on a playbook updates what shows up on the org chart card.
Yes. Click into any department to see its positions, team members, and internal reporting structure. You can move up to the parent department or across to a sibling department without leaving the view. Large companies with nested departments get a clean drill-down. Smaller teams get a flat view that shows the whole company in one screen.
Yes. Alice, Whale’s AI assistant, uses the same user profile data the org chart is built from. Ask who owns a process, who manages a team, or which position handles a specific workflow, and Alice answers from current data. A new hire can ask Alice in Slack or Teams who to contact about a billing question, and get the right name, role, and department without opening the chart.
The org chart is a Power-Up add-on available on the Team plan and above. Power-Ups are bundled into the Power-Up add-on package along with comments and threads and custom terminology. Teams that need live company structure mapped to content ownership add the Power-Up on Team or Scale. Enterprise customers get it as part of the standard plan configuration.
A Lucidchart diagram or a slide is a static drawing. Someone has to remember to update it, and it lives separate from the rest of your company’s knowledge. The Whale org chart is generated from live user data, so the structure matches reality. Every position is also a link into the SOPs that role owns and the training flow it runs, so the chart is not just a picture of the company, it is the entry point into the work each role does.
