FROM OVERLOOKED TO ACTIVATED OPINION LEADERS
Global organization | 2,000 employees
This US based financial company was
struggling with a very hierarchical structure. As
a result, the decision-making process was
heavy and slow. The company wanted to
involve lower levels more. But who?
Their intuition got confirmed with evidence
from the network anlalysis.:19 from the 20 top
go-to-people held managerial positions. Who
were the key influencers who could then cut
through the different level? Innovisor identified
4% of employees who could reach 97%.
The key influencers were activated through
trustful conversations. They were the informal
opinion leaders, because they literally drove the
engagement in the company. If they were more
engaged, the overall engagement went up – and
vice versa.

FROM TOO MANY COOKS TO GLOBAL STANDARD
HR organization of a global company | +300 employees
A global manufacturing company wanted to
centralize its HR unit to secure efficiency and
alignment. As a baseline for this transformation,
insights into the connectivity of the HR
organization was needed, and – more
importantly – the identification of the key
influencers who could help drive the
transformation.
The diagnostic confirmed their hypothesis that
regions worked as separate organizations.
Collaboration happened within regions – not
between. This made the HR organization 28%
slower than the Innovisor benchmark. Seven
connectors across regions were identified and
simulations showed they would beat the
benchmark.
To strengthen collaboration, the seven
connectors were brought together on a
cross-regional project to improve agility. To
accelerate the transformation, key influencers
were activated as the change ambassadors
through three concrete actions.

FROM NEW HIRE TO OUTSTANDING CEO IN ONE YEAR
Region of global company | +300 employees
A global company brought in a new
regional CEO where 8% of all employees
were employed in Sales. The new CEO
wanted to get a baseline on its
collaboration network as input for
organizational redesign, and to
understand how sales networks and
sales performance were correlated.
The informal network in the region
showed three key characteristics. In
addition, correlation analysis showed that
the best performing sales team were
those, where the office sales staff
interacted the most with their field-based
sales reps.
The organizational redesign made sure to
establish connection rhythm between office
sales staff and field-based sales reps. In
only one year there was a clear pay-off: sales
had become the central department that all
other collaborated with, and sales team
coherence and performance improved.

FROM NO ORGANIZATIONAL VIBE TO TRANSMISSION TOWERS
EU company | +350 employees
A service line struggled with a
disengaged workforce when – at the
same time – it underwent a major
transformation under immense
competitive pressure. The new leadership
team felt it could not turn around. They
were transmitting without vibe.
Not only the top management could
not reach its employees; middle
management also showed limited
reach. Correlation showed that the less
informed people were about the strategy,
the less they understood the logic behind
the strategy. Ten key influencers were
identified who could transmit with a vibe,
but they were negative.
The new leadership team engaged
regularly in trusting conversations with the
key influencers. They listened and recalibrated
their messages based on the new input.
The key influencers became the
transmission towers for leadership
communication.

FROM FRAGILE TO AGILE
Telecommunications company | 600 employees
This telecommunications company
experienced challenges with low
organizational agility and low access to
product and market insights – even though
they had spent considerable efforts to get
cross-collaboration right by giving a
handful of people cross-functional roles.
The handful of people did not increase
agility. On the contrary, it turned out
that this company was 25% slower when
comparing with Innovisor benchmark.
Innovisor identified the six highly
connected employees who could make
the company 13% faster according
to simulations.
The six connected employees – Paul, Peter,
Patricia, Emil, Eleanor and Yana – were not
yet connected. They were connected and
promoted as exchange hubs for product
& market insights.
