"The team’s professionalism, attention to details, and rigor are wrapped into an empathic, partnership approach. Their willingness to deliver on promises made, and to offer flexibility, and you get your magic formula for outstanding customer service. We used the Agility Accelerator primarily to understand how expertise was dispersed in a large community of data experts. We discovered where silos existed as well as untapped reservoirs of expertise. The platform helped us to identify the most appropriate actions to reduce knowledge gaps and increase collaboration."

"The Agility Accelerator not only allowed us to explore the specific-team related questions we originally hoped to understand, but opened up countless opportunities to dissect and explore other intricate relationships that existed between individuals and groups within our organization. The team was incredibly helpful, present and informative in explaining the platform and worked closely with us to ensure our objectives were being addressed. The platform provided digestible and easy-to-access data analytics and even provided real-time resources for how to address the diversity, equity and inclusion gaps found in our networks to increase belonging among our team."

"The Agility Accelerator was critical in uncovering connection points and areas where we needed to strengthen collaboration across key innovation functions (sales, marketing and R&D) dispersed around the globe, as well as at an individual level. The tool was intuitive and easy to use, and the analytics dashboards enabled us to tell the story and mobilize the broader audiences in the organization."

Project Summaries
Leverage influencers for transformation
Worked with an electronics manufacturer to accelerate and increase the likelihood of success of their transformation initiative, through identifying the 3% of key influencers who connected to 86% of the target population, and analyzing how the network patterns needed to shift to align with the company’s changing business model. (Without ONA, these network patterns were invisible, and management was able to identify less than one-third of the influencers.)
Speed new product development
Sped new product development for pharmaceutical teams spread across multiple projects and time zones by addressing their biggest collaborative challenges, and modifying networks to support the type of work being done.
Understand gender differences in career progression
Analyzed differences in networks by gender, to understand the factors that, combined with workplace challenges, contributed to stifled career advancement for women in a medical center. Established targeted programs to change the workplace norms, rethink personal networks, and lower the barriers that prevented more inclusive management.
Decrease over-reliance to reduce overload and/or burn-out
Identified mid-tier and hidden talent for a large medical device company, which was growing fast, and relied too heavily on high-tenured people and senior leaders. To support their growth strategy, they needed to shift work and develop capabilities in new “go-to” people.
Optimize integration strategies for acquisitions
Optimized the integration strategies for an aerospace & defense company who is growing by acquisition. By understanding the informal workflows to ensure that the groups that relied upon each other were kept together, and that critical talent was highly valued, the acquiring company quickly realized the benefit of their acquisitions.
Accelerated transition of new leader
Accelerated the success of a newly hired biotech Chief Scientific Officer by providing knowledge of the ecosystem of relationships that existed, providing insights into existing group dynamics, collaborative practices, super-connectors, and those on the network fringe who would benefit from being engaged.
