"How would they actually do that?" Presumably by being extremely diligent and efficient at doing fundamentally the same primitives I do: guess who in the company would know, Slack/email them as to whether they know, and recurse until the right person is located.

This isn't just for the usual purposes of asking for introductions; it also helps people play find-the-expert. "Interesting project plan; what's biggest risk?" "Uncertainty re: X." "Did you ask an expert about X?" "But who would I talk to?" "The Intro Concierge, like always."

A lot of organizational design is "Ahh, what problems we could solve if we had an API that implemented the following interface; we'd consume that everywhere" and realizing that people can expose an API, too.

As someone that works on our Security team, this is at _least_ 50% of my job. And I would love for this to be an explicit, documented role that we could hire for.
-
Somewhere on the order of 30% for me. I came to this idea by advising a CEO that they should have one, in response to an issue they articulated, and then said (immediately) "Actually wait up why don't we have this."

Are you familiar with expert networks? This was phase two of the business, but it bled into phase three, which was “IC, I’m curious about iPhone sales next quarter. Can you intro me to someone in corp finance at Foxconn who can tell me the exaaaaact number?”
-
I have heard about it, generally in context of Phase 3. (One reason why when they pitch me on
$X for a call I nope the heck out of that discussion.)
