Collective Intelligence and Collaboration: a new paradigm for value creation
Abstract
As we continue to progress in the knowledge economy, we are seeing a surge in the collaborative creation of value, at both individual and organizational levels. Both the public and private sector are trying to understand and exploit this new paradigm of co-creation and collective intelligence, which is inherently cross-disciplinary in nature. The interplay of technology, sociology, economics, anthropology, and psychology is creating the advent of the “2.0” age (e.g. Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, etc). Knowledge networks and knowledge markets, powered by technology, are starting to take center-stage in this new arena and there are many success stories, failed attempts and work-in-progress that we can learn from. This roundtable will collectively explore what this new paradigm means with respect to commerce, business models, culture, technology, society, brainstorm on where possible opportunities lie and identify challenges involved in harnessing opportunities.
