High Level Process Overview

An OrgMapper | INFLUENCE analysis project has a lead time of 6-12 weeks, and uses a secure online interface to administer a short survey. General demographic data, such as participants’ names, email addresses, location, business area, hierarchy level, etc. are collected and uploaded into the tool using a simple excel sheet.

The system sends pre-approved email invitations to participants with their unique login details to the secure online survey comprising 18 short questions.

Example questions:

  • Who is well-informed and has access to the latest updates in your work environment?
  • Which of your colleagues inspires you the most when it comes to your work?
  • Whom do you often turn to for advice before making an important work-related decision?
  • Whom do you turn to if you need to discuss personal problems?
  • Whom do you receive frequent feedback from regarding your work?

For each question, participants can choose up to four names of their colleagues (peer-election method). The tool also offers detailed response rate monitoring, as well as a reminder and consent procedure throughout the survey.

With OrgMapper | INFLUENCE organizations are able to ELECT their key employees, EMPOWER their influencers, and ENHANCE their communication strategies. The tool reveals formal and informal communication patterns, and identifies the informal influencers that will help drive any development program and best advocate for corporate strategies.
