Dr. Douglas C. Englehart, Director of the Bootstrap Institute will present
"Facilitated Evolution of Collective IQ".
Social organisms evolve just as do biological organisms. Human organisms,
the highest form of social organisms we know, have been steadily evolving
their practices, languages, cultures, and diversity of collective
capabilities.
Emergent information technologies offer explosive opportunities for evolving
a significantly greater collective capability for coping with complex,
urgent problems. But to keep apace with this opportunity, the evolution of
our organizations’ Collective IQs would require an associated rate and scale
of individual and organizational change that far exceeds the coping
capability of existing social-evolution processes.
Dr. Engelhart will describe some of the many specific improvement
innovations to be pursued, including a "Program Launch Plan" – but the most
important part of his message concerns the SCALE FACTOR: the unprecedented
scale in rate, degree, and pervasiveness of change being thrust upon us, and
the new, strategic concepts needed to provide a scalable
improvement-investment plan for large organizations, large institutions, …
whole countries. Which of these becomes the smartest will depend upon
best-strategy improvement investments.
This program is presented by the Materials, Manufacturing and Enabling
Technologies Series, in conjunction with AFRL/ML Roadmap Review, who have a
number of members at WPAFB.
