Mapping Ourselves: A Foundation for Camaraderie in a Tech-driven World

For teams to avoid getting lost in today’s rapidly evolving work environment, self-knowledge and a profound understanding of your teammates are no longer luxuries, but the very foundation of success. Build that foundation by heeding the ancient advice “know yourself” along with a new approach, Mapping Ourselves.

Technology is reshaping work at an unprecedented pace. Universal connectivity lets you hire the best from across the globe. AI enables smaller, leaner, hyper-productive teams. The result? Teams, small and large, are more agile than ever before.

But these transformations also make it easy to get off course. Such global, asynchronous, interwoven teams — without the previous norms of small, frequent, informal interactions that built trust — can be more fragile. In an era of AI-driven efficiency, people work not in silos but as part of a richly interconnected ecosystem. Even one misaligned or underperforming individual can be catastrophic. 

In this powerful and inspiring keynote, Rajiv Mehta unveils Mapping Ourselves, a groundbreaking method based on twenty years of research that enables teams to:

  • See (in real maps!) the invisible patterns of daily interactions and social dynamics through innovations in “personal science”.

  • Strengthen their bonds through experiences of “collective self-reflection”.

  • Build a resilient, high-trust culture that allows innovation to flourish, even in distributed, asynchronous workplaces.

Rajiv’s powerful stories and an elegant framework will shift the way you think about nurturing camaraderie. You’ll walk away with actionable insights to create a thriving, adaptive, and deeply connected team, no matter where or how you work.

Are you ready to thrive in this new world … and find more joy in each other's company? This keynote illuminates the way.
