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.
