The Power of Collective Wisdom with
Alan Briskin, Consultant and Author of The Stirring of Soul in the Workplace, Daily Miracles, and his new book 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.
We invite you to join us to discuss Alan’s new book, The Power of Collective Wisdom: And the Trap of Collective Folly. He and his co-authors have created a foundational book for an emerging field of study and practice relevant to everyone seeking more effective and satisfying ways of working with others.
“This book takes knowledge about groups and elevates to a field and a movement. The authors….have the ability to integrate a breadth of thinking into a new whole.” Peter Block
