Just learned that a 12 season long podcast, I joined in a single episode in 2024 for the second year in a row has my episode as the top episode.

It must be the topic... :-)

Commitment beats engagement, when it comes to change success. When you are committed, you are willing to 'go the extra mile'.

In this case the 3% of informal leaders are highly committed, but the leaders are not.

Focus on them first.

A returning Innovisor client summarized why you want to know the 3%, who informally impacts ~90% of their peers.

First, acknowledge peers have more influence on sentiment than leaders.

Then the 3% equals:
- Faster and better change
- Better retention
- Improved productivity

What is not to like?

The right 3% of employees matter more to change success, than most people are aware. If they are in the know, and committed... then support for your change ripples fast from them throughout the informal networks.

Here an org with ~500 people

Dear Friends, Family, and US Connections.

I want to wish you all a happy thanksgiving. I am grateful for being connected to you.
It is a personal joy for me to learn from and interact with you all.

Thank you.

P.S. Picture is from last year, when I visited New Delhi. Lots of learning there 🙏

3% impact ~90%, if identified with right method: Peer-to-peer identification & algorithm to maximize impact with smallest group of people.

Not by top-down or self-identification or by a group in a room mapping networks. A random identification of 25% produces better results

To know the informal leaders in your org is to be CHANGE FIT.

In this case, the 3% that mattered the most in an 800 person org were unknown to leadership & had been left in the dark during a transformation.

We told the leaders, who the 3% were, so they could avoid another change fiasco.

I had no idea, where this would take us, when I asked: How Can We Help Our Clients Avoid Change Failure.

The #ThreePercentRule strikes again.

In a 425 person org spread across 4 countries, the right 3% of people impact 87%.

They have that impact regardless, so why risk not activating and engaging them?

Adding one more reason analyzing and understanding connections is complex, and not as straight forward as some technology vendors want to make it seem.

Leaders,

Not all inefficiency is waste.
Some of it - and especially your informal connections - is essential glue. Driving innovation, speeding up decisions, keeping people motivated and engaged, and blocking or accelerating change.

ALWAYS understand your informal connections first!

What happens when HQ is an echo chamber? - that does not listen to the insights from the front lines?

When HQ does not have 'time to respond' to the questions coming from the sales affiliates, production facilities etc, because HQ has 'more important things to do'?

You fail.

Don’t hide!

Two years ago, ‘Another Change Fiasco! Now What?’ had just released.

IMHO still the best playbook on how to work with informal influence as part of a change or transformation program.

If you flood your team with externals, you might succeed short term... but you fail long-term, when they sign-off.

A much better approach is to find a trusted advisor to walk alongside you, as you progress. It might be at a slower pace, but it is more succesful long-term.

For a connection to be real both parties must see it. It must be a two-way street... or reciprocal, as some people call it.

This is especially important for knowledge-intensive organizations and leadership teams. You need to have real connections to...

The worst you can do to someone's informal influence is calling them a talent. In the same second, it is out in the open, the informal influence evaporates.

It is an us & them dilemma.

Don't make your informal influencers part of 'Them'.

Spooky weather this morning. Hiding the lake in the fog.

A lake that used be a fjord, then a lake… and for the last 250 years farming land… the water is now flowing back. In 10 months it will be the 4th biggest lake in Northern Sealand and a massive recreational area.

The bridges are ready.
