Co-Intelligence

Co-intelligence is a capacity that goes far beyond individual IQ-based intelligence.  

Co-intelligence is intelligence that's grounded in wholeness, interconnectedness and co-creativity. It is the human manifestation of a universal evolutionary dynamic we call holistic intelligence.

It is collective, collaborative, synergistic, wise, resonant, heartful, and connected to greater sources of intelligence.

We find co-intelligence—and its opposite, co-stupidity—in

  • individuals

  • groups

  • organizations

  • communities

  • societies

  • processes

  • systems and

  • institutions

Each of these can be co-intelligent whenever it calls forth collective wisdom in and around it—usually by using diversity creatively.

Many people know ways to accomplish this, one way or another.

The Co-Intelligence Institute collects and weaves together the knowledge of diverse scholars and practitioners into a coherent field of theory and practice —with lots of stories and examples.
