Authenticity demands surrendering control; technology enables distributed connection.

Iversen argues that established organizations cannot scale authentic engagement by tightening messaging control—instead, they must distribute content creation power to employees and communities, accepting messiness as the price of credibility. She further contends that technological infrastructure (particularly AV and hybrid systems) succeeds only when designed to flatten hierarchies and enable peer-to-peer connection, not to broadcast top-down narratives.
