My Nesta report on the mechanisms of collective intelligence written with Mattia Gallotti of University of London.
Key findings:
- Collective intelligence emerges when there is a balance between technology, governance and joint goals.
- Collaboration builds on our cognitive capabilities to think as we and have joint intensions.
- Technology should make visible the assemblages of information and support the modification of knowledge.
- Organisational models must mimic cultural transmission allowing for imitation, appropriation and combination.
