Andreas Hoffbauer, Founder & Director of Atelier Kultur has built a business helping organizations leverage organizational sociology best practices to build better networks in and around their organizations, to increase the discovery and dissemination of knowledge, reinforce and grow culture, and thrive in these increasingly dynamic times.

Networks, and networking, be they physical or digital, face-to-face, via digital work platforms like Slack, Teams, or Webex, or external platforms like LinkedIn, or any number of professional associations, networks provide the ties that bind, and can be the path to new knowledge, information, and potentially cutting edge thought, design, and insights to provide new axes of competitive advantage. Especially in fast-moving industries like technology and media. And since every company's evolving into a technology company, the applicability of Andreas' lessons reach far and wide.

Weak ties, strong ties. Internal groups, and cross-functional connectors, information flows up and down and horizontal to the chain of command, direct connects and indirect relationships, we covered it all in this extended conversation. 

We even got into the Ship of Theseus aka Theseus' paradox. 

I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation with Andreas as much as I did.
