The Iceberg
Think of Your Organisation as an Iceberg
Above the surface are the formal structures and processes, and the organisational chart. In short: above the surface are the things we have decided on, and can easily identify.
Below the surface we have the greater mass of the ice berg. Here are all the things that are that are not formal structures or processes. There lies influence, friendship, expertise, trust, conflict, collaboration, and relationships – it’s how work actually gets done. The big difference – we most often have no clue what’s going on under the surface.
Wexxa is a firm specialised in analysing, and acting on, what normally is hidden below the surface. We work with facts-based methods to turn the iceberg upside-down – fully visible to our customers – and take action to drive value.
Is it really that important to understand what’s below the surface?
Did you know that how organisations collaborate internally is one of the most defining success factors? In collaboration intense industries, the difference between low performers and high performers is 9.4* times. Conclusion? Great collaboration is worth investing in.

Cases
NCC – Collaboration Beyond Silos
We’re excited to be able to tell you about what we did for NCC, one of the leading construction and property development companies in the Nordic region. It started out with Microsoft reaching out to us and asking us to help a customer of theirs to drive productivity and to measure the strategy to become one NCC. NCC, in turn, wanted to know more about ideas developing and problem solving within their organisation. We surveyed a little over 1000 employees about whom they were likely to approach for problem solving or to develop an idea. This resulted in an additional 850 people and over 5700 relations. The patterns that emerged and insights of their most valuable informal leaders and influencers, gave NCC a head start to adapt to new ways of working – and, to work like a network. Watch the video below.
ACQUISITION TURN AROUND
In this case, a customer of ours wanted to improve productivity and culture at a production plant they had recently acquired. We performed a tailored network analysis to identify influencers and overall management insights.
We identified multiple positive and negative informal leaders the customer could work with, and provided insights on the hierarchical patterns. With the facts-based insights provided by us, our customer could work with the process of improving productivty at the production site.
