The past decade has generated a number of insights into the nature, variation, and quantifiability of the intelligence of individuals, but what do we know about the intelligence of groups? Does it simply take the mean value of the group's members? If not, what is it and how does it relate to other forms of intelligence? Can we actively build intelligent groups and, if so, how? The impact and usefulness of this research is inestimable. As work grows increasingly collaborative, understanding the constituents of group intelligence gives teams a strategic advantage. By the end of the course, you will be able to: understand cutting-edge research about collective intelligence; assess the collective intelligence of a group; implement best practices to foster collective intelligence.
