My memory is that it is showing informal relationships based on survey data - I'm pretty sure that it's from one of the Rob Cross articles...

Quick question: the picture with internal connections within the organization was it formal connections and hierarchy or informal relationships, who knows who? In that case is it based on interviews or data such as emails and phone calls? Nice presentation!

The lesson I learned: If Tim sounds like Jabba the Hutt when you press play then you need to update your flashplayer. Good talk Tim!
