055. Mark Mortensen: Building Healthy Culturein a Hybrid World

The pandemic has greatly impacted how organizations gather. Not having been able to put all the focus on a few physical gatherings or corporate retreats, organizations have hopefully had an opportunity to think through what values and behaviors are actually promoted through their stories, rituals, and processes. INSEAD's Associate Professor, Mark Mortensen, has investigated the nature of conflict in distributed collaborations and its relationship to identity, context, and communication. In this engaging and helpful episode, your host Tobias and Mark discuss the benefits and challenges of hybrid and remote work, and how this impacts psychological safety in the workplace.

Mark Mortensen is the owner/principal consultant of Global Works Consulting and is an Associate Professor and the chair of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. Mark's research explores collaboration in today’s global work context, focusing on alternative structures of organizing: collaborations and teams that are global and virtual, matrixed, overlapping, and dynamically allocated. Mark is a regular contributor to management education journals such as the Harvard Business Review, MIT-Sloan Management Review, and IESE Insight. He has been featured as an expert in media outlets including the Financial Times, Economist, Boston Globe, and Globe and Mail.
