Tap the Hidden Power In Organizations
Organizations traditionally rely on an ORG chart to make change decisions, assess influence of individuals and/or teams, and describe how the organization is structured. However, business journals and magazines such as, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek and Fortune have all written about a more potent and useful chart for making these decisions: the informal (human) network (i.e. the hidden ORG Chart). In this session, Vikas Narula will educate participants on the power of informal relationships and why uncovering them should be a central focus for business leaders. Narula will provide attendees with insights and examples of how inter-personal workplace dynamics often goes unnoticed, yet serves as a potent driving force in business outcomes. Case studies and examples will be reviewed to highlight impact on the bottom-line.
