article featured imageToward Boosting Our Collective IQ: A Knowledge-Centric Approach Published in customers.com | Mar 10, 2011 | Doug Engelbart and Christina Engelbart Announcing a new publication from the Seybold Group at customers.com, an adaptation of selected writings by Douglas C. Engelbart, edited by Christina Engelbart, with Preface and Conclusions by same. “In the early 1990s, Doug Engelbart, renowned innovator, described the basic components of a dynamic knowledge ecosystem, and the knowledge bases that are constantly evolving from within these ecosystems, as a wake-up call for IT professionals as well as business users. His call to action is even more viable and pressing today as the scope and method of interaction and collaboration become increasingly distributed, networked, cross-functional, cross-disciplinary, cross-organizational, cross-cultural, interdependent, complex, and urgent on a global scale -- just as he predicted. Here we present his view of what is needed as well as an update by his daughter and innovation partner, Christina, on how far we have come in achieving his vision.” [Continue Reading]
