Connections drive innovation.
We need input from people with a diversity of viewpoints
to help generate innovative new ideas.
If our circle of connections grow too small,
or if everyone in it starts thinking the same way,
we’ll stop generating new ideas.

“We learned that individual expertise
did not distinguish people as high performers.
What distinguished high performers
were larger and more diversified personal networks.”

“Rather than management asking, How do we incentivise people to share their knowledge?
It would be more useful for management to ask, How do we develop relationships across the organization
that will set in motion more knowledge sharing?”Nancy Dixon, PhD
