Friendships permeate our society and our working world. They have an inherent power that we do not yet fully understand. Our age is characterised by complexity, speed and uncertainty, the flow of information and knowledge about each other shapes our cooperation and our society - we live in the age of AI. Team structures based on friendship, trust and transparency offer a significant strategic advantage for organisations. Used correctly, they can contribute to a crisis-proof and adaptable corporate culture.
