Organizing Around Intelligence

Organizing Around Intelligence introduces a new mindset and awareness in leading and managing human organizations. This paradigm shift is vital as humankind enters the intelligence era (the knowledge economy). Individual human beings are becoming better informed and educated. They carry knowledge structures of very high quality. Consequently, their interaction dynamic is different and they have to be managed differently. The intelligent organization theory discussed in this book emphasizes the significance of focusing on the human thinking system and the orgmind as the primary strategy. The approach is to organize around intelligence and collective intelligence. Both the human organization and its interacting agents are complex adaptive systems. The importance of awareness and mindfulness, as well as the intelligent person model, is also presented. This fresh leadership and management philosophy contains many new concepts that are not known to human organizations today.
