What is Corporate sociology?
On the surface, everything seems to be working: projects are on track, targets are met, and the team is expanding. But something feels off. Maybe you’ve noticed signs of stress or subtle disconnects within your team. People might feel overlooked, or the mood feels heavier than it used to. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious challenges: disengagement, burnout, even losing valued team members.
That’s where corporate
sociology steps in
Corporate sociology helps you go beyond the basics of productivity stats and workflow charts. It’s about understanding the real dynamics: the stories, relationships, and hidden rules that shape your team’s everyday experience. Think of it as a deep dive into the social fabric of your workplace, looking at both the “what” and the “why” of how people interact. These social dynamics impact everything from team morale and creativity to trust and engagement.
Our embodied approach
An organization is more than just strategies and structures. It’s alive with people’s stories, emotions, and the ways they connect – or don’t. That’s why our corporate sociologists take an embodied approach. We’re not only interested in the “cognitive” aspects (the data and processes); we’re just as focused on the narratives and emotions that make up the heart of your workplace.
Mapping the social fabric
Mapping isn’t something we do behind a screen. It’s a collaborative process that actively involves your team. By working together, we start creating momentum and spark change from within, making sure the insights we gather are rooted in your team’s reality.
I am incredibly grateful for the special experience of the Embodied Leadership Retreat of Doors Open. During these days I met wonderful people, gained valuable insights that deeply touched me and strengthened my personal leadership.

The context that
shapes your team
Where most sociograms map only individual relationships, our corporate sociologists also take into account the broader context your organization operates within: the industry, market conditions, company size, and history. An insurance company faces different pressures and societal expectations than a tech start-up, and these external factors influence how people interact, how power dynamics play out, and how unspoken rules emerge.
Making change stick
At Doors Open, we help you to shape a healthier, more inclusive workplace in ways that truly last. After understanding your team’s dynamics, we use embodied methods to turn these insights into action. Through hands-on exercises, your team will experience new ways of working that foster connection and engagement on a deeper level.
Teams that work with Doors Open will feel more valued and cohesive, with lasting improvements in collaboration and reduced stress woven into daily interactions.
