The Future of Business is Socialised!

British novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard once said, “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” Human beings are naturally social and have gathered in tribes for millions of years. In moden life, social technologies allow people to form and co-ordinate more easily than ever. According to the book ‘Tribal Leadership’ organisations inevitably develop internal tribes – groups of between 20 and 150 members with interlocking ties.

Our research shows that companies should encourage social collaboration in order to build a competitive advantage and reap the tangible benefits.
