“What do we do once we identify the 3%?” The 3% are not there to represent leadership. They help leadership connect with the real organization. When leaders activate the right people, change spreads through everyday conversations. How is your organization working with its informal influencers?

There is something deeply satisfying about a leader returning 7-8 years after, we collaborated on transformation program. Now sitting with a 10x responsibility. We enjoy enabling our clients to grow - and be with them on the journey.

I lost count. One more #change book author wants to cite @innovisor.bsky.social that the right 3% of people (often unknown to leaders) in the informal organizational #networks impact ~90% (aka #ThreePercentRule). It will also share a story from a #manufacturing org that discovered exactly that.

It’s election day in Denmark. Happy to live in a country, where people use their right to vote - and celebrate the election with a party as they follow the results coming in. Some even stick to the same traditional menu as their election dinner. Fingers crossed for unity. Not division.

"People ask, when are we doing it again"... Happy to hear it is not only our counter parts that appreciate how our #ecosystems and #community work help them measure, evaluate and improve... it is also the people they activate and engage based on our findings. @innovisor.bsky.social

What if you knew WHO to activate and engage in WHAT for AI transformation success? @innovisor.bsky.social #AI#success #threepercentrule #change

The water is 4C/40F this morning. Helped out the winter swimmers this morning as ‘stand by’ lifeguard. Happy to help and happy I didn’t have to jump in.

Probably the best #WorldIndoorChamps in my lifetime. Stand outs: Walsh in shotput, Ehammer and Dokter in multis, Keely, Cooper and Georgia in 800/1500m, Bartocletti, the 60hurdles, Duplantis being pressured, and and and…

For any behavioral #change to succeed, you need the commitment of the people. Not just a yes, but a hell yes! Source: #SixChangeBlockers. It is hard to get a hell yes, when people feel their job is on the line. Like in many mergers. Or in AI transformation right now. Visual from Roberto Ferraro.

Walk to the ‘end of the world’, as it is called by the locals. Only 1/2 mile ~ 0,8 kilometer, so very doable on a Friday afternoon 😀☀️

Is AI becoming an excuse for connecting with colleagues?

A fool with a tool, is still a fool. A fool with an AI tool, is still a fool. A clever employee with an AI tool can be a genius. A clever employee with an AI tool, but not committed to your organization, is an investment with a negative ROI. Time to treat AI as #change? @innovisor.bsky.social

AI transformations fail because no one leads them correctly.⛔️ With no clear direction, ownership, and role models, what you get is a lot of activity but little change. That’s what we'll address in our research. We’ll look at what actually drives successful AI transformation. Contact us for more!

When you work with kids in sports… One of the most powerful and basic things you can do is to make them feel seen… greet them, smile at them, and say goodbye. It can retain them in the sport produce medal winning performances by someone not as gifted as the competitors. Works well in business too.

Unity Always Beats Division… In politics, in business, and in sports.

Many leaders want to decentralize decision-making. A service company with 900+ employees faced this. Leaders were approached 14 times more than employees. The solution was to connect unit leaders and co-design the new decision process with them. Read more: www.innovisor.com/2020/09/17/t...

As AI is rolled out in organizations globally - WHO do employees reach out to, when they want to make sense of things? - the trusted peer or #AI? Upcoming @innovisor.bsky.social research. Organizations can still join to get a baseline and identified who to engage. #changeleadership

Innovisor research question on the impact of AI: Are we simply adding a new tool, or are we introducing a non-human actor into our organisation? - and how does that impact human connectivity and culture? Enhancing existing MIT/BCG researchs: sloanreview.mit.edu/projects/the... DM to join.

Ecosystem leaders - What if you knew, what you don't know. Like who really moves the needle. How much more impact would you have? #Ecosystem #leaders NEVER know more than 50% on the actors - www.innovisor.com/2022/07/04/t...

Solution Selling: Do you think these sales leaders win in their strategic efforts to sell complex projects to global key accounts? - Why? - Why not? What would you do as the CEO? @innovisor.bsky.social #organizationalnetworkanalysis #leadership #sales

Morning run

Organizations invest heavily in technology аnd still adoption moves slow. It's because people rarely adopt new ways of working because leaders tell them to. They adopt them because someone they trust shows them how. A worthwhile read for anyone working on AI transformation. hbr.org/2026/03/peer...

You can tell the difference.

In Nature, Change is consistent. As seasons. As storms and bad weather followed by stability and sunshine. If there is no change, then nature dies out. I observe this every year at 7 lakes in my neighborhood, where water flows halt and the water then lacks oxygen and they turn green and die.

In: Why Mergers Fail and How to Spot Trouble Early (2016, March) MIT Sloan Management Review Almost half of all M&As fail, even though they try to make it work for 10 years 😱 sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-...

Blushing a bit… 😊 Told some stories, shared a few facts, and answered questions from a global audience on change leadership in and outside organizations.

“CHANGE does not happen until the RIGHT people are COMMITTED.” Just gave a virtual talk to a global crowd from Indonesia to USA/Canada. Connect if of interest. #threepercentrule #sixchangeblockers @innovisor.bsky.social

How do the 3% impact the rest of your organization? When the 3% are negative, skepticism spreads fast. Еngagement drops, and even strong strategies start to wobble in response. But when the 3% are positive and committed, energy and confidence build, and people support the direction.

Tuesday evening at the stadium.

Warms your heart! Amazing to see how people BELONG to the club.

This week, our WhatsApp group filled up with messages that made me smile. Practitioners from all over the world. They all shared what the Organizational Network Club means to them. Warm welcomes. Sharp insights. Real connections. Join for only €9/month: www.innovisor.com/organization...

Didn’t feel like running the stairs today, but did enjoy the view.

The bridge at the end of the lake. Just before sunset. Wonder where all the people were?

There is a lot of noise about AI and very little evidence. Some claim it will flatten hierarchies, others say it will centralize power. But here is what we want to know: When AI is part of daily collaboration, who do people go to for advice, how does culture form, and how will change be affected?

Wednesday, I will speak to a global special interest group within Change Management. Who is Tom? - the person people listen to and trust, but whose knowledge is not documented... The one person that executives don't know who is. Much more difficult to identify than finding Waldo. I am excited.

Morning run.

Preparing a change presentation for Wednesday. Always start with a mindmap. What are the key take-aways? - then how do I get to those with stories + facts. Then the start. How do I grasp attention. Finally, what comes after takeaways. Then I make the presentation 😀
