John talks to Gianni Giacomelli, Chief Innovation Officer at
Genpact, and Head of Design Strategy at MIT’s Centre for Collective
Intelligence. Pointing to a growing body of research that pictures
intelligence as an emerging property of a network, Gianni argues
that we should focus on collective, rather than individual
intelligence, in structuring and developing organizations.
Diversity is a big part of this, with evidence piling up to show
that more diverse teams get better results.
The conversation also covers the role that AI is playing in
learning technology and a future in which collective intelligence
also embraces human collaboration with machines.
