“In every company, there's a formal organizational chart which is how the executives think the work is getting done. And, then there is an informal org chart which is how the work is actually getting done. The informal org is mapped out by the communication patterns through platforms like MS Teams or Slack.
If a leader understands the informal org chart and peeks into that digital DNA of the organization, they can leverage that information to help the company be the best version of itself.”
