It’s powerful seeing our ideas travel beyond Innovisor. 🚀
Dr. Sarah Louise Day’s PhD explores how networks shape citizen participation in large-scale urban development. In this, the #ThreePercentRule plays a role in understanding how influence spreads.

The bigger your organization gets the bigger the risk of fragmentation and silos.
People crave for separate identities. For us vs them.
And…
It already starts with 5-6 employees. It hurts performance, wellbeing, and innovation.
Can you afford not to know the divides? - and how to mitigate them?
Employees are 3x more likely to reach out to a leader than to a peer, when they want to make sense of things (Source: @innovisor.bsky.social)
How would your organization score? - On par, higher, or lower?

Innovation isn’t a black box. 🗃️
When ideas stay isolated, they stall. The best organizations aren’t those with the most ideas, but those where ideas travel & evolve.
So, the question is: Do our ideas reach beyond their creators?
Happy World Creativity & Innovation Day! 💡

This week a new edition of ‘The Change Leader’s Brief’ comes out. I will write about timing and change.
Is there any value in the fresh start? - or is it better to launch off something existing?

Fun fact... or whatever you want to call it.
The individual informal networks of people inside organization have shrunk 9% since 2021 (source: Innovisor).
Why do you think that is? - and what are the consequences for change?

🔖 Jeppe’s Pick: The Cognitive Economics of AI
Malvika Jethmalani highlights what a lot of companies start to feel:
AI is making work faster but not necessarily lighter.
They assume that if something becomes more efficient, people have more capacity.
📖 Read here: www.reworked.co/leadership/t...
Organizations are investing in AI now.
The question is:
🫵 Does it translate into something positive?
🫵 Do people understand how to use AI in their work?
🫵 Do they feel comfortable relying on it?
Or are they hoping for the best?🤞
That’s what we’re exploring: www.innovisor.com/ai-research-...
Who in the company do you go to for help or advice? 🤔
That person might quietly be shaping decisions and influencing how work gets done.
Leaders, do you know who these people are in your organization or are they still invisible?

🔖 Jeppe’s Pick: Communities are not fungible
This article makes a point: You can’t replace a community.
We’ve seen teams try but it just didn’t work anymore.
Because what was there before wasn’t structure, but a network built over time.
📖 Worth a read: www.joanwestenberg.com/communities-...
Do you ask these questions enough?
Make sure you are clear on WHAT is actually blocking change.
And WHO shapes how change is perceived.
When you get clarity on the WHAT, WHO, and HOW, change stops being guesswork and starts becoming intentional. 🧭🤝

🗣️ “I will just communicate top-down”
90% of people look to only 3% of colleagues when they make sense of things.
Leaders are only looked to by 50%.
🗣️ “Does that mean that leaders are not impactful?”
No, they are important. They need to role model the change and communicate it with one voice.
Rolling out AI often looks like a tech project because of the new tools and processes.
But culture has nothing to do with technology and doesn’t change through tools.
❓So, what happens to culture if AI changes how much people rely on each other?
We’re digging into that right now. Contact us 💬

On change communication.
My dad was a teacher. He always said: “Kids must hear things 4x to understand. Adults the double”.
I wonder, how much change communication adheres to these numbers.
#changeleadership #communication
Why does it matter to understand and discipline connectivity inside organizations? - because despite how obvious the connections seem to be from a strategic pov, human connections is build through something else. Sympathy, consistency, time, experience and trust.

From above everything looks different. It does not only give a good view. It also eliminates valuable detail.
This especially applies inside organizations, where getting the ‘frontline’ view makes all the difference.
Like from those people trusted locally by peers.
@innovisor.bsky.social
Notice how the green😃 and red🙁 cluster.
That's because people absorb opinions and emotions from the conversations around them.
🙁 If you sit in a part of the network where frustration dominates, that becomes your experience.
😃 If you are surrounded by engaged colleagues, it spreads too.
If you’re celebrating Easter, you know it’s all about the egg hunt. 🐣
In organizations, the same game is playing out but less visible.
Leaders look for answers in reports, dashboards, etc.
But who actually drives change are the 3% or “the golden eggs”.
Where are you searching for them?
🗣️ Most leaders ask: Who are people connected to?
What's important: How are those connections distributed?
In this video, Richard shows why 2 teams in the same organization can look identical and still operate in completely different realities.
Watch if you care where the real risks are hiding.
If AI gives better answers than most colleagues, do experts slowly lose their role?
In busy organization, speed wins. So overtime, fewer people will go to them for advice.
Have you already seen this happen?
We’re researching it in our 2026 research project. More on our website 🌐

A common trait among all key influential people:
drinking the most coffee.☕
Across multiple companies, we found a strong correlation between coffee consumption and informal influence.
Got you there... Happy April Fools!
#ThreePercentRule #informalnetworks #leadership
In “Alpha”, collaboration is spread across the organization.
In “Bravo”, key groups are isolated from the rest.
One organization is connected, the other is fragmented.
And when critical teams sit on the edge, knowledge doesn’t flow and decisions slow down.
Where are your critical teams positioned?
