Abstract

There are several definitions for “collective intelligence” and its applications. We define collective intelligence as an emergent property from synergies among three elements: 1) data/information/knowledge; 2) software/hardware; and 3) experts and others with insight that continually learns from feedback to produce just-in-time knowledge for better decisions than any of these elements acting alone. This paper will briefly discuss what collective intelligence is, why it is needed, some early approaches, how The Millennium Project (MP) is creating its own system — Global Futures Intelligence System (GFIS), and how MP is applying the elements of GFIS for the creation of ISIS (Integrated Synergistic Information System) for the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology. ISIS is adapted from GFIS to provide a common platform for Egyptians to explore possible futures for input to national short- and long-term strategy.
