Social Capital
"Everyone talks about how knowledge is the important asset. But it has to be applied to be useful. It gets applied via the processes
associated with social capital.
In order to realize the benefits of working as an aligned, interdependent, system everyone needs to have conversations that are diverse,
complex, and deal with everything from key routines to major strategies. Collaboration can be thought of as a network of different
conversations.
A common problem for distributed organizations is that their conversations deteriorate to being about logistical details, routine reports, and
administrative matters except during infrequent face-to-face meetings. This just doesn’t provide the "juice" you need to support the essential
creative energy of teamwork because, in many cases, these conversations are the only shared experience groups have for long periods of
time." - H. Reingold
