Join David in Morocco
What do Ibn Khaldun and Steve Jobs have in common? They extensively thought about the notion of Collective Intelligence, a shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration, collective efforts, and competition of many individuals.
It lately emerged as a new transdisciplinary field, bringing together insights from political science, cognitive science, data science, philosophy, and management science to meet the challenges of this century.
How can you turn traditions and ground-breaking academic knowledge around Collective Intelligence into modern action?
That is the purpose of a unique Executive Education Program I am leading from January 15–19 in Morocco, limited to 25 participants. Sign up here before registration closes on November 30.
This program is designed for senior, C-level executives or community leaders interested in:
• Finding the best ways to resolve conflict within your organization?
