Collective Intelligence is not the same as the Field Intelligence

Collective Intelligence is not the same as the Field Intelligence

Collective intelligence emerges from the team, tribe or community that comprises the collective.

Field Intelligence is more complex.

Field Intelligence includes situational, environmental, all-sentience, non-sentience, emergent present and future, polarity, coherence or dissonance, flow, matter, and warm data, in addition to Collective Intelligence.

A Syntropic Enterprise is one that creates the infrastructure to support profound Field Intelligence. There is a design to this that is nuanced. It includes the development of Stewardship capacities. Human and leadership intelligence to sense, attune to and attend to the Field data set, half of which is not measurable in zeros and ones.

The Field is exquisitely relational. Attention to the quality of the relationships, not just human-to-human, but Stewardship to all existence, sentient and non-sentient, emotive, whole and alive, becomes of paramount importance.

Stewardship that evolves to attune to Field Intelligence is ever more critically needed.

Simultaneously, Stewardship with this capacity evolves when we create the design architecture that places Field Intelligence as central to our activities. They co-arise.

Therefore, a Syntropic Enterprise includes all of the following:

*Intentionally designed systems architecture to maximise Field Intelligence. This is the Trust Manifesto. It considers the whole, the values and principles as fundamental, the purpose and intention clearly named.

*The forever development of Stewardship in all participants. Ongoing personal and collective development, coaching and facilitation. In Syntropic World, this includes the Dare to Care Workshop and all leadership and team development processes. (https://syntropic.world/dare-to-care/)

*The relational dynamic itself as a quality to be attended to with love and care, including the interchange between all participants, sentient, non-sentient, emotive, technological, cold and warm data. This is Synergistic Accounting.​

We propose that this type of enterprise design and intelligence is rare, yet achievable.

We believe that the urgency to support the rapid growth of Syntropic Enterprises as the emergent exemplar, while our current systems, models, tools and relational infrastructure collapse, is the call of our times.
