What is collective intelligence?

Collective intelligence is a new research discipline (like sociology or anthropology). Collective intelligence helps us see how evolutionary forces are opening new paths for the next forms of social life, and what are the possibilities offered to us as individuals. How do individuals cooperate? What is the relationship between the individual and the collective? Is it necessarily conflicting? What is the link between being and doing? What are the technologies? What is that we call "right placement" ? What is a culture? A belief system? What are the invisible architectures? How do we get a sense of the whole?

What is the goal of the seminar and who is it for?

• Get an understanding of the different forms collective intelligence.
• Observe the new emerging forms of collective intelligence in humanity (called global collective intelligence).
• Build core language and integral practice to enter in this new paradigm.
• Explore how to build new paths to make global wisdom driven organizations possible.

This seminar is for those who want to understand, support and contribute to the next forms of social life that evolution is creating in humanity. It doesn't matter whether participants are leaders, coaches, politicians, social entrepreneurs, simple citizens, students, inventors, politicians or writers. What matters is their openmindedness, their commitment to explore new paradigms, their will to combine personal growth and culture, technology and body practice, being and doing.

Participants leave the seminar with keys and early practice that allow them to see possible paths, for themselves as well as for the organizations they lead or support.

What's in the seminar?

Here are some of the topics covered in the seminar:

• Learn the foundations of collective intelligence (CI) as a research and developpement discipline.
• Review the different forms of collective intelligence: original, swarm, pyramidal, global
• Understand core concepts, maps and language such as invisible architectures, the role of currencies, socialware, holopticism, object links...
  
• Understand the role of technology and socialware, be it for supporting today's organizations (pyramidal collective intelligence) or for building tomorrow's organizations (global collective intelligence) through socialware;
• Explore your right placement, reconciling being and doing through an exploration of integrity process allows the participant to define his/her right placement in the context of global collective intelligence
• Learn how to build wise and efficient organizations, built on human sovereignty, genius and creativity
  

• An integral practice. Each plane of the being is solicited in our practice: body, mind, spirit. Participants learn how to engage these planes in the social field, as this is crucial to overcome today's limitations in conventional organizations. We play with concepts and maps, we learn how to balance the physical and online spaces, we practice body exercises, we explore concrete study cases, we do workshops.
  

What the seminar is not

A 3 days seminar is too short to become an expert on collective intelligence. Just like sports or music, expertise arises through regular practice and training with others. Participants are encouraged to take this direction.

The seminar is not about personal development and group therapy, although we do go in our edges for building CI practice with others. It is a space for building next forms of organizations, which requires openmindedness, curiosity, a strong will to open to ourselves and others.

Admission criteria

Attendees are already on a path of personal growth. It is required that participants have already gone through enough personal development and solved relational issues that may stop a whole group. Openmindedness, curiosity, wonder, are necessary.

Attendees are open to meditation as well as the integral approach described earlier (body, mind, spirit). They understand that human experience is a subjective inner construct mirroring with an external objective phenomenology of the world, hence being and doing cannot be lived separately.

Attendees are open to the diversity of proposed exercises, be they physical, methodological, intellectual, spiritual or emotional. Attendees are in good physical condition and happy to move their body. They have also read the paper: "Collective intelligence: the invisible revolution".

Attendees also have good understanding and practice of the Internet and socialware. They are open to innovation and technology as being linked to consciousness. They are willing to learn the next technologies and tools that will sustain the next forms of collective intelligence.
