Susagna is a corporate rebel at heart and it's no surprise that she ended up creating and nurturing communities as a way to influence and transform her company. In this episode she takes us through her personal story with communities: from building the first one from scratch with little guidance to successfully exiting it several years later once it had grown to a movement with its own voice internally. A great listen, so sit back and enjoy!

A little bit more about our guest, in their own words:
Scientist turned project manager turned capability developer, I see communities and the spaces they create as essential for learning, creating belonging and psychological safety as well as motors for advancing knowledge. At the end of the day, we come together in organizations to do what we cannot do alone, so community is the basis for delivering big things.

Coaches, Trainers, Process Managers, Knowledge Managers, Change and Project Managers, Experience Designers, and Learning Facilitatorsâall have a shared goal: to improve the performance of their employees and teams.

Welcome to Mapping Ties! đ„ł
We're Anamaria Dorgo and Sophie August, and we're delighted to have you here!
We started Mapping Ties because:
/ We donât have enough stories of success from companies building internal communities
/ We donât know enough about the challenges such projects are facing
/ We donât know âwhat good looks likeâ and whatâs holding us back
/ We donât celebrate the organisations and people who pave the way often enough
Weâre changing that.
Season one of the podcast has seven episodes which are recorded LinkedIn Audio events.
Yup, you heard that right!
Mapping Ties started as a series of seven LinkedIn Audio events, where our hosts shared best practices in building internal communities of practice, and our listeners were invited to join the conversation!
We captured questions, notes, and resources in our Padlet board which you can access here.
We hope you enjoy the journey, and please reach out if you ever want to bump heads and chat about community building! đ±
