The Social Capital Show
Human Networks, Social Capital, & the Adaptive Organization. How relationships shape performance, influence, and change.
The Social Capital Show explores how value, information, and influence actually flow through organizations — not through org charts, but through human networks. Each episode brings leaders inside the hidden relationship structures that shape execution, innovation, trust, and adaptability in an era of constant change.

Organizations don’t succeed or fail because of strategy alone — they succeed or fail because of how people connect, collaborate, and coordinate.
This show examines how informal networks, trust, influence, and social capital shape real outcomes inside organizations, often more powerfully than formal structures, roles, or processes.
Through executive conversations and research-informed insights, The Social Capital Show helps leaders see the invisible networks inside their organizations — and learn how to strengthen, activate, and design for healthier, more adaptive human systems.

Why Social Capital Matters Now
As organizations become more distributed, more matrixed, and more dependent on knowledge flow, collaboration, and trust, social capital has become a critical — and often unmanaged — asset.
Without healthy networks:
- Collaboration breaks down
- Innovation slows
- Silos harden
- Change efforts stall
- Burnout increases
This show exists to help leaders understand the real human systems inside their organizations — and intentionally design for connection, flow, and adaptability.
