Co-Intelligent Practices, Approaches, Processes and Organizations
Tom Atlee
Co-Intelligence Institute
Most co-intelligent practices and approaches are group or community processes. But co-intelligence is not limited to those. It also includes ways of addressing human diversity, ways of working with nature, ways of engaging with greater forms of intelligence, modes of inquiry, political and economic innovations and much more.
The list below, as long as it is, barely scratches the surface of the tools and models available to us to build a more co-intelligent culture. You can see other efforts to compile such approaches at Multiple-Approach Studies and Compilations.
