Written by Gianni that’s leading research projects at MIT’s Center for Collective Intelligence, work as an advisor to climate-focused startups, and am the former chief innovation officer of a large IT services company. I have worked with software-driven innovation since the early dotcom times, so I am not scared of the current downturn, yet.
I believe that most innovation processes in our organisations and institutions are reminiscent of those built in low-knowledge-transmission times, when existing wetware-based algorithms favoured hierarchical and deterministic decisions. I also believe that innovation-process incrementalism is preventing us from seeing (and harnessing) the powerful systems that surround us – call them “superminds”. In an Exponential Age, we can do way better. Human vs. reptilian-brain better, that is. This is what today’s essay is about.
