What Is Collective Intelligence?
Let’s first start by explaining what exactly collective intelligence is. We’ve told you about it before, so we’ll just give a quick run-down here. Simply put, collective intelligence is where people put forward their own ideas and collaborate together on them. The goal is to them into one shared idea.
“The smartest person in the room is the room itself” is a quote from David Weinberger’s ‘Too Big to Know’. It summarizes the concept of collective intelligence very well. People are a fantastic source of inspiration and ideas. The best thing about collective intelligence is that it lets us tap into this knowledge on a large scale. It is one of the most effective ways to unlock innovation.
Collective intelligence allows businesses to tap into a shared knowledge database. This database cannot be replicated by a single person or machine. When your people can generate ideas and see them implemented, it increases the scope for innovation and growth within the company.

There are also a lot of successful examples who have used it in recent years.
