Original Collective Intelligence

“The greatest challenges for humanityaren’t hunger, poverty, peace, public health, education, the economy, natural resources, nor a combination of these or other issues ...

but our capacity to build new social organizations

capable of providing the solutions.

Our greatest challenge is Collective Intelligence

so that our challenge as designers is ...

Jean-Francois Noubel

... all are groups that work very well

… what characteristics do they have in common?


Jean-Francois

Noubel

1) an “Emergent Whole”

eg. melody2) Holopticism (vertical perception,

horizontal reception.. Not just ‘transparent’ – feedback loops

3) Object-Link (3 types: YumYum, Monster, Art)

4) Learning Community5) Polymorfism (fluid social maps, change with

necessity) > > > lots of leadership & INITIATIVE ! ( holarchy or rotating hierarchy, levels are permitted)6) Social Contract

(ACCEPTED guidelines, rules)

7) Gift Economy8) Sufficient Currency 9) Info System


> Designing 4 the > External Quadrants> normally is> a lot easier !

FetishismsPseudo-spiritual Consumerism

if we DON’T consciously

design for the internal

quadrants ...

generous with info!

Mirages

think as a “WE”

The 7 Habits

A Vision without Actionis just a Dream

Action without Visionis a Nightmare

but Vision with Actioncan

change the world

in Class 1.7

DialogueThe more conscious we are of its nature,

more likely it might be that we enable it to happen

Dialogue / Debate

Einstein

We are all very ignorant What happens is that we don’t all

ignore the same things

Open QuestionsClosed Question: Do you have a happy marriage?

answer: Yes or No

Open Question: tell me about your marriageanswer: .. bla bla... more .. & more...

I kept six honest servants, They taught me all I knew,

Their names were WHAT and

WHEN and WHERE And HOW and WHY and WHO.

Rudyard Kipling

Einstein

Great spirits have always been met withviolent opposition

from mediocre minds

DialogueConversation is thinking in its natural state.

Thinking is the conversation inside ourselves ...

... are the words that start inside human beings in the process of transforming

our gregarious tendencies into cooperationMalvina Reynolds

what is “Dialogue”we talk about what is truly important for uswe truly listen. we think of what we can understand of the experiences & points of view of others we say our truth without making others wrong we look at what we can learn together, exploring things together we avoid monopolizing the conversation. we ensure that all have a chance to speak

David Bohmour beliefs give form to the realities that we createthinking is a collective phenomenon: it is possible only through culture & communication

David Bohm

human conversations arise from & influence the OCEAN OF CULTURAL MODELS in which we live - the process he calls DIALOGUE

David Bohmbut the majority of conversations do not have this quality of profound connection (oceanic..) they are more like ping-pong sessionsDISCUSSIONS (percussion, beating, agitating, etc.)

come! come! dialogue dialogue dammit!dammit!

I demand that I demand that you you dialogue! dialogue!

Dialogue!!Dialogue!!

He died. He died. Anything but Anything but

dialogue.dialogue.

David BohmDialogue is joining up thoughts creating a meaning that flows & evolves continuously, taking us to deeper levels of understandingwe create a new type of mind & of learning that increases our collective intelligence

Harrison Owen

Dialogue is ... people truly listening to people speaking trulythen .. the creation of a shared & wider understanding ... is inevitable

the sad reality: with our cultural conditioning ...

it is QUITE improbable that this type of dialogue appear from an open conversationnormally these result in monopoly of the conversation, etc. BUT we have tools to bring the spirit of dialogue to our every-day meetings

Dialogue

A) ANTAGONISTICB) BANAL

C) CREATIVE

G) GENIOUSF) FANTASY

E) ELEPHANTD) DUMPING

our gregarious tendencies into cooperation

practice!!try these out whenever you can & explore...

Tools to facilitate Open Dialogue in Small Groups

NO INTERRUPTIONSCircles or Rounds (consecutive, with or without object, talk from the heart)PopCorn (object in centre - take it when wish to speak - with or without rules)

the Gong the Stone


“a penny for your thoughts”you ‘pay’ your cent when you wanto speakvariation: time=money, or use other object


the FISH-BOWLin conflict situations (polarized positions) group A talk in the centre, others watchgroup B .. etc.repeat various times

Dale Bogaski Art Works

Consensus ProcessBill Mollison - only use consensus once ...Needs good facilitationit is NOT ‘talking freely’although this sometimes works (if you have a lot of time ..)

Facilitationa CRITICAL ability ...... that can be learnedbut ONLY with PRACTICE take leadership, no

need to wait for special permission !

& lots of good observation

World Cafésmall groups (eg. around tables of 5 people) who talk a while then change tables randomly

Law of Two Feet If you are not

in a place where you are

learning or contributing anything, go look for one

where you can

BeesThe people

who go ‘fertilizing’ / taking honey

from one wkshop to another

(get easily bored?)

ButterfliesDon’t even go

to the workshop ...

flutter around the bar, toilet queue, etc.
