What is PIC?

PIC (Power of Corporate Influence) is a consulting service from the Institute of Oxford Innovation Group that identifies, characterizes and measures interactions between employees, focusing on those that may be relevant to business processes.

This study applies one of the most advanced approaches in organizational analysis: Social Network Analysis (SNA), which includes concepts and specific analysis methods to extract valuable information from these maps of the organization (detect groups of communication and spontaneous collaboration, identify hidden talent or locate points of improvement in the company).

  • Inventory and analyze available data sources (including privacy aspects).
  • Evaluate the technological requirements of the project.
  • Agree on the expected results, access and presentation.

PHASE 2. DATA COLLECTION

  • Questionnaires: The employee reports with whom and how he relates through an online or paper questionnaire.

PHASE 3. GENERATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE NETWORKS

Guarantees of effectiveness

Guarantees of effectiveness

  • Study depth. PIC consulting allows revealing the true causes of problems in companies and possible improvements in relation to:
  • Fragmented communication or communication problems.
    Values Fit: Company culture and employee interests should be aligned.
    Information silos: knowledge is encapsulated and not disseminated.
    Employee engagement: Motivation affects employee initiative and participation.
    Access to information and people: communication channels (such as email) may be limiting access to company knowledge.
  • Analysis rigor. The study data is reflected in graphs and social KPIs that require great computing power, advanced knowledge of databases and their optimization using highly efficient algorithms.
