"We’re in the midst of a financial crisis. Why are we still talking about what these millennials want? Why do we care what anyone wants for that matter…gen X, baby boomers or whatever? Everybody just has to hunker down and work.
This is a view that I’ve heard and it seems reasonable on one level. Yes we all have to focus on working our way out of this crisis. However, the crisis doesn’t change any of the facts or realities that are not optional. We’ll talk about the four things that haven't changed ….the trends that are long term that are shaping the millennials’ expectations of employers and careers as well as how they prefer to work."

Considering the mass-layoffs many companies are experiencing today, are they in danger of losing the working knowledge of their organizations?
Karen Stephenson, Ph.D
This is Peter Clayton reporting with the continuing series of interviews recorded at the North American NeuroLeadership Summit in New York City. Our special conference leadership series is sponsored by Deloitte.
In this podcast, Dr. Karen Stephenson shares her decades of experience in quantitative social network analysis, explaining how the measurement of relationships reveals general principles and patterns that can be seen across organizations. Diagramming the build-up and breakdown of trust networks gives insight for diagnosing management problems, and, better yet, opens the door to designing more innovative models to face our modern challenges.
Trusted networks do not exist in org charts. Considering the mass-layoffs many companies are facing today, they are in danger of losing the working knowledge of their organizations.
Professor Stephenson’s concept, which she calls the “quantum theory of trust,” explains not just how to recognize the collective cognitive capability of organizations, but how to cultivate and increase it. She is the most visible member (particularly in business circles) of a small but growing academic field called social network analysis. Originally derived from the complex math used to explain subatomic physics, it is being used to understand and manage the ineffable forces of human interaction within an organization’s walls — particularly those forces that can’t be captured in formal structures, such as pay scales and reporting relationships, but that implicitly govern the fate of every enterprise.
"Trusted networks contain 80% of the working knowledge:"
