WAX Lyrical: Sneak Peek
Message from the founder
By democratising innovation and removing barriers to insight and collaboration across borders and sectors, we're growing the ability of our members to influence and impact the issues that matter to them. By doing so, we are unlocking the potential of organisations and individuals to engage with their networks and respond to the needs of the global community.
From dictionaries and religious texts to Wikipedia, YouTube, IMDB and Quora, our collective intelligence allows us to share knowledge at an unprecedented rate.
While we are making full use of technology for gaining wisdom, we have also begun to bring problem-solving and crowdsourcing on tech platforms. I recently spoke to the Sociable on how we are using technology to harness the power of the collective to gain insight into modern-day problems.
Over time, I've seen the abilities of problem-solving to engage in much more based on the connectivity of humans. Now, we can connect to people who weren't traditionally seen as experts in a problem-solving process. Humans realise that we still need humans to interact with other humans in problem-solving. The role of technology is merely enabling a means for the speed of that problem-solving methodology.
Technology enhances both the speed of problem-solving as well as the ability for us to solve problems.
The trick is to figure out how we can use technology to cross borders, disciplines, and silos, and bring that collective global intelligence to issues that are common to us all, whether it is productivity, education, health, or a whole variety of different problems.
Problem solving and expertise are being redefined and fragmented, and it's the technologies in the platforms that can harness what the future of intelligence on earth is.
This month we share exclusive analysis and reflections from Mindhive members on the COVID Economy, Scaling Female Founders, Diversifying AI usage in Collective Intelligence and more.
