The Power of Collective Wisdom: and the Trap of Collective Folly

with Alan Briskin, Consultant and co-Author of Stirring of Soul in the Workplace, Daily Miracles, and his new book The Power of Collective Wisdom

The Power of Collective Wisdom
If we are to disentangle the extraordinary challenges that we face today, in organizations, communities and nations, we must transcend our divisions and develop solutions together. But what enables us to collectively make wise decisions and sound judgments instead of splintering apart?

When human beings gather together a depth of awareness and insight, a transcendent knowing, becomes available. We have the potential to tap into an extraordinary co-creative power that exists in every group. How can we do this more reliably? Collective wisdom is elusive and unpredictable – it can’t be willed into being. We can, however, create the conditions for collective wisdom to be cultivated.

Our intent for this session is to introduce you to the Six Stances of Collective Wisdom and the Five Ways Collective Folly Impairs Group Decision-Making , help develop the ability to build cohesive, coherent, collaborative structures demonstrate the power of embodying your values and wisdom as a core leadership capacity provide a foundation for the field of collective wisdom’s further emergence.
