When building your model, you generally apply a progressive logic of consumption step by step for your modeled objects. You take a first object A and observe that this object is consumed by certain other objects. Therefore, you create relationships between A and these objects and consume A. You then move on to a second object B that you consume, then a third one, and so on.
As you progress in defining your consumptions, you build networks of consumption in which your modeled objects influence and are influenced by each other.
Here is an example of consumptions among 9 objects (from A to I) created in a model on Easy Orga:
To go beyond simple observation of step-by-step consumption, we apply a systematic analysis to determine which objects are the most influential (or drivers): directly and indirectly.
First, we have kept only the consumptions in this example, without applying weighting (costs, revenues, or others).
On Easy Orga, you get in 2 clicks a “Motricity – Dependence” analysis of your model:
On this 4-quadrant matrix of direct influences (or level 1), the more an object influences (or is a driver), the higher it is on the vertical axis. On the other axis, the more an object is influenced (or dependent), the further to the right it is.
We notice that for direct influence, 6 objects have the same degree of influence or motricity on the others.
We also observe that one object is very influenced or dependent: the “I” which is far to the right.
By analyzing indirect influences (or level “n”) on the same matrix on Easy Orga, the landscape of influencers and the influenced change significantly:
Object A turns out to be the most indirect driver, followed closely by object B.
We then note that 6 objects are very close to the main diagonal of the matrix: they are therefore as much influenced as influencers.
For rankings and detailed analysis of positions, Easy Orga provides them with one click, first with direct influencers:
And by ranking objects by indirect influencers (motricities):
With weightings such as total costs, the analysis changes drastically. To stay on the previous example, we attach 2 costs to 2 objects: 1000 Euros on A and 2000 Euros on B.
Here is the new landscape of direct influences:
Object B is a driver and little influenced. Objects C, E, and F are strong relays of direct influences. Object A is insignificant, yet it brings a cost of 1000 Euros to the network.
In indirect influences, objects evolve little in the end:
Systematic analysis on Easy Orga provides you with a new tool to bring fundamental answers and feed your decisions and actions.
You quickly distinguish the most decisive objects: those that have a global impact, whether direct and/or indirect.
Monitoring or improving their performance means positively and more broadly impacting your entire organization.
