There have been many optimistic predictions about the potential of crowds to solve social problems. But are these tools valuable to the production of social innovation?

Can Collective Intelligence be used to produce social innovation? The advance of information andcommunication technologies in the 21st century seems to have unlocked the potential of collective intelligence, enabling us to mobilize large crowds to solve problems and produce novelty. However, despite early optimism, more recent scholarship suggests that collective intelligence has serious limits and in particular that it is not suitable for dealing with the types of complex problems that social innovators inevitably face. In order to evaluate more carefully the potential of collective intelligence to support social innovation I present a framework for looking at social innovation processes as a number of distinct phases and mechanisms. I then look at three examples of different types of online platforms used to mobilize collective intelligence. My analysis suggests that each of these has some capacity to support some elements of a social innovation process, but that as the theoretical literature would suggest none of them are useful throughout the process. However,since each of these different platforms has different strengths and weaknesses, by linking them together and utilizing the right platform at the right time, we may be able to harness collective intelligence to greatly enhance social innovation capacity.

Even though it is hard to find good definitions of knowledge, most psychologists would agree that knowledge is an internal mental representation of external environments. This may seem to be contradictory to the idea of 'collective knowledge', but the point of this presentation will be that the concept makes sense. In collective knowledge, large groups of people externalize their representations into digital artifacts. An example is social tagging networks.

Binding Chaos – book by Heather Marsh We can do better than [representative democracy]. We can govern by user groups, respect individual rights and global commons, and collaborate using stigmergy. We can belong to overlapping societies voluntarily by acceptance of social contracts. Where necessary, elite expertise can be contained and used through transparent epistemic communities with knowledge bridges while control remains with the user group.

Harness the Power of Social Networking to Promote Innovation and Drive Growth A treasure trove of strategic and tactical insights for the business leader Provides relevant experience from a host of powerful case studies and compelling business scenarios Secrets for avoiding costly mistakes that can cripple a social networking initiative Millions of people use social networking sites, and companies are increasingly turning to social networking to build relationships with customers. But companies routinely miss the best opportunities to create value and promote innovation–by using social networking to build thriving communities of employees, partners, and customers. Business leaders and strategists can drive immense value from social networking “inside the firewall.”

I have spent many hours ruminating about what exactly it would take for us, humanity, to move all our businesses to sustainable enterprises. I personally think that it will take a lot more than one business doing this or saying that, or one person standing in the crowd exhaustively telling others of the perils of our current lives. It will take the effort of many positive deviants, in many fields cooperating and collaborating with each other. Anyone and everyone needs to be a positive deviant in the field they are passionate about.
