A Closer Look at Transformation: Collective Intelligence | Frank Diana's Blog Next up in this transformation series is the seventh enabler: Collective Intelligence. One of the key themes throughout this transformation series is the clear movement from an enterprise entity to an extended enterprise of stakeholders. This extended enterprise – or what I alternatively call value ecosystem – increases complexity and requires a new management approach to be effective. Collective intelligence allows us to harness the efforts, knowledge and brainpower of a community. Thanks to advances in technology, individuals, groups and computers can collectively act more intelligently than ever before. Value ecosystems complicate collaboration and exacerbate the diffusion of knowledge – I described the drivers of value ecosystems as part of this transformation series in an earlier Post. One might say that I have believed in the collective power of communities for quite some time. Extended Enterprise Value Ecosystems Realizing this vision is becoming a business imperative. Enablers:
collective intelligence - the hypermedia research centre - University of Westminster cyberbollocks book review Collective Intelligence: Mankind's Emerging World in Cyberspace by Pierre Levy, Plenum, New York, $27.95, ISBN 0306456354 The Net has become our symbol for the future. Like clocks, steam engines and nuclear power for earlier generations, we use this icon of technology to imagine what will result from our current period of rapid social change. Up until now, because the Net was mainly developed in California, it is not surprising that our view of the digital future has long been dominated by gurus from this state. But lurking behind this techno-mysticism is something much more sinister. Levy's book is important because it advocates an alternative future for the Net. This is because the entrepreneurs were the last people to arrive in cyberspace. Rather than being just a business opportunity, Levy claims instead that the Net is a qualitatively new way of living. Levy's visionary anthropology is therefore diametrically opposed to that of the Californian ideologues.
What is Intellective Design? Intellective Design is a term that I’m using to describe the relationship between collective intelligence and design. So, what’s collective intelligence you ask? Collective intelligence is commonly referred to as the group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals. It is the aggregate knowledge that emerges from the decentralized choices and judgments of groups of independent participants. You’ve heard that two heads are better than one? Try millions of diverse, independently thinking heads each with their own unique experiences and cultural contexts. How can we harness this collective intelligence in the design process to make much more meaningful and informed design decisions? Good question.
collective action design framework | exitcreative Part three of five in a series on loyalty. We’re halfway there, don’t give up on me now! Comments and contributions will be part of part five. – Clay Now for the traditional, business school stuff: variables of customer satisfaction. Satisfaction among a set of customers, no matter the business, seems to be composed of six key variables: Product Performance: Does the thing I’ve purchased live up to my expectations? Differentiation from competitors can be – well, kinda has to be – created in multiple categories, and the more differentiation, the better. You knew that. But what we’re talking about here isn’t just general best practices for business, it’s building integrated loyalty systems. The first step is to map how your product works against the six components of customer satisfaction, according to the segment of people who use your product or service that you’re targeting with your efforts in the collective action space. You should probably do research to find out how you’re doing.
Allan Donnelly » Collective Intelligence Collective Intelligence is defined as the ability of groups to solve more problems than the individuals working alone. Collective Intelligence is not just the average knowledge of the crowd, it is, rather, an emergent property that is greater than the sum of its parts. Collective Intelligence is the wisdom of the crowd. This exploration of collective intelligence examines a group of individuals working together on an affinity mapping exercise. The diagrams that follow are mappings of specific elements of the exercise that contributed to the collective intelligence of the crowd. Affinity mapping is a tool designed to facilitate groups through a collective problem solving and system mapping exercise. Reviewing the footage revealed several interesting findings. 504 responses were organized into 25 different categories. Coordination With so many people involved in the collective organising exercise, simply making sense of and navigating through the crowd became an activity all its own.

The company is designed to give management students the opportunity to learn first-hand the successes and challenges of running a small retail company. The company designs and orders apparel and other items with custom graphics, namely with the MIT and MIT Sloan logos. In all, 208 and emails were collected from the time between 1 June 2012 and 21 September 2012. The charts above page depict the email communications over time.

WhatisCIF - collective-intelligence-framework - Explanation of CIF - The Intelligence Layer Table of Contents CIF is a cyber threat intelligence management system. CIF allows you to combine known malicious threat information from many sources and use that information for identification (incident response), detection (IDS) and mitigation (null route). The most common types of threat intelligence warehoused in CIF are IP addresses, domains and urls that are observed to be related to malicious activity. This framework pulls in various data-observations from any source; create a series of messages "over time" (eg: reputation). When you query for the data, you'll get back a series of messages chronologically and make decisions much as you would look at an email thread, a series of observations about a particular bad-actor. CIF helps you to parse, normalize, store, post process, query, share and produce data sets of threat intelligence. The original idea came from from: Parse Normalize Post Process Store Query Share Produce
www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf 2014-06-10 - (Newsom & Goldberg) Let's amplify California's collective intelligence Although the results of last week's primary election are still being certified, we already know that voter turnout was among the lowest in California's history. Pundits will rant about the "cynical electorate" and wag a finger at disengaged voters shirking their democratic duties, but we see the low turnout as a symptom of broader forces that affect how people and government interact. The methods used to find out what citizens think and believe are limited to elections, opinion polls, surveys and focus groups. These methods may produce valuable information, but they are costly, infrequent and often conducted at the convenience of government or special interests. We believe that new technology has the potential to increase public engagement by tapping the collective intelligence of Californians every day, not just on election day. We're exploring an alternative. There was also a surprise. You don't have to wait for the next election to have your voice heard by officials in Sacramento.
2014-06-09 - (Rey) Toward a more functional definition of Collective Intelligence Collective Intelligence (CI) generates increasing interest as an emerging discipline, but it seems difficult to find a clear and intuitive definition of what it means. It is tried to partly alleviate that deficit by adopting the terminology used by the MIT Center of Collective Intelligence but in my opinion the CCI intends to encompass so many scopes that lead to us to a definition very little operative. For example, Thomas Malone and his team often use this definition of CI: “Groups of Individuals acting collectively in ways that seems intelligent“. The ontological advances in the field of CI either do not seem to give great results. At individual level, if we rely on the etymology, “intelligence” means “to know how to choose”. The groups also express a certain degree of intelligence. For me it is sufficient that a group of individuals makes things together so that some degree of “collective intelligence” is revealed.

2011 - (Kania & Kramer) Collective Impact (Photo by iStock/wildpixel) The scale and complexity of the US public education system has thwarted attempted reforms for decades. Major funders, such as the Annenberg Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Pew Charitable Trusts have abandoned many of their efforts in frustration after acknowledging their lack of progress. Once the global leader—after World War II the United States had the highest high school graduation rate in the world—the country now ranks 18th among the top 24 industrialized nations, with more than 1 million secondary school students dropping out every year. Against these daunting odds, a remarkable exception seems to be emerging in Cincinnati. Why has Strive made progress when so many other efforts have failed? These leaders realized that fixing one point on the educational continuum—such as better after-school programs—wouldn’t make much difference unless all parts of the continuum improved at the same time.

CI Resources - The Collective Intelligence Blog Here I share a compilation of contents related to Collective Intelligence. This space is updated with new resources as they become available: Augmented Collective Intelligence: Technology enables all of us to know more than any of us. Track 6: Social Media and Collective Intelligence - wi2015 Social Media has led to radical paradigm shifts in the ways we communicate, collaborate, consume, and create information. Technology allows virtually anyone to disseminate information to a global audience almost instantaneously. Information published by peers in the form of Tweets, blog posts, or Web documents through online social networking services has proliferated on an unprecedented scale, contributing to an exponentially growing data deluge. Digital traces of online and offline behavior, communication, and actions of artificial as well as human actors contribute to ‘datafication’ of our world. An important quality of these new databases is their coverage of real effective behavior (in contrast to stated or postulated behavior). This may open up new frontiers if not a new (‘the 4th’) paradigm of ‘data-intensive science’.
