About Collective IQ 0Overview1
In Doug's words, Collective IQ is a measure of how well people work collectively -- how quickly and intelligently people can respond to a situation collectively, leveraging their collective memory, perception, planning, reasoning, foresight, and experience into applicable knowledge. It's ultimately a measure of how effective they are at tackling complex, urgent problems and opportunities. It's also a measure of how effective they are at tackling the complex, urgent problem of how to raise their Collective IQ to their highest potential, so they will be that much more effective at solving complex, urgent problems. As the rate and scale of change around the world increases exponentially, so must our collective ability to harness our most effective Collective IQ skills to stay ahead of the curve and thrive. In it's simplest form, Doug sees Collective IQ as a measure of how effectively we can concurrently develop, integrate, and apply our knowledge, which he affectionately termed CoDIAK. And for this overarching capability, our Collective IQ depends critically on how effectively we capture, organize, and utilize our emerging knowledge in dynamic knowledge repositories (DKRs). 1b Early on Doug hammered out a strategic approach for rapidly bootstrapping our Collective IQ, including a specific set of organizing principles for accelerating the evolution and innovation of our Collective IQ capability, which he refined over many decades of R&D, pilot experimentation, and real world observation. Many of these strategic principles were embedded in the operation of his legendary research lab at SRI, whose mission was to advance the state of the art in Collective IQ capability (aka augmenting the human intellect), and which turned out some of the most prolific breakthrough innovations of our time (see Pioneering Firsts). 1c Further Inquiry2
