In this episode, Erik Korsvik Østergaard has a conversation with Jeppe Vilstrup Hansgaard, CEO of Innovisor, a small consultancy focusing on organizational network analysis and change management, about signal number 10: Social Network over Social Media.

What is the status of the social network in the modern organization? And what does an organizational network analysis reveal about the other signals in the Horizon Scanning Document?

 Online, people are fed up with the consolidated social media platforms and their seemingly clickbaity and annoying algorithms for the feed, and they instead move to smaller and more intimate closed groups. Here they can connect and relate to people, rather than be exposed to news, ads, and less relevant content. 

 This development can be seen in organizational settings too, where employees are staying away from the internal corporate social media, and instead gather around smaller, tribal based channels.

Today's episode is a little different as our usual host, Erik Korsvik Østergaard is the one getting interviewed. 

Erik was invited on Roche's podcast called The Dots and is interviewed by Charles Robinson, Head of Strategic Projects & Initiatives, Therapeutic Modalities, at Roche pRED. 

The two discuss a number of subjects including social capital, social contracts and the ideal sizes for teams. They explore the challenges of co - leadership as well as teal working practices and how it functions within an organization. 

They were kind enough to allow us to upload it here, so we hope you find value in it.
