Seminar Overview
1
Constrained resources, global competition, and faster product cycles are major organizational challenges of the times. As organizations face an increasingly uncertain external environment, they must develop their abilities to adapt rapidly or face obsolescence. Leading organizations realize that the only way to stay afloat and prosper is by increasing their efficiency and effectiveness while spending fewer resources. These capabilities are all enabled by increasing the organization's Collective IQ - that is the ability to leverage their staff's collective memory, perception, foresight, experience, and reasoning for improved operational decisions. An organization's Collective IQ is supported by collaborative skills such as effective teaming, collaboration, knowledge management, and continuous learning. Improving these skills will generate a powerful virtuous cycle. 1B
In this seminar Doug Engelbart will present how you can boost your organization's Collective IQ, and its capacity to improve cost-effectively. Using his multimedia-based "Paradigm Map", Engelbart will outline this novel approach to improve the performance of individuals, teams, and large organizations by addressing the enabling technologies, practices, and strategies that are required. Engelbart will show how organizations can gain dramatic improvements, most efficiently. 1C
This seminar also serves as an introduction to the Bootstrap Alliance, a collaboration with Sun Microsystems, Netscape Communications, the Educational Testing Service, and other leading organizations to cooperatively explore new opportunities. 1D
Program Highlights

| Need to stretch our perception of the rate, scale, and pervasiveness of change; new paradigms 3A |
| Promoting high-performance individuals, teams, and organizations under conditions of limited resources, by promoting the improvements with the greatest leverage possible 3B | |
| Promoting collaboration and knowledge management across organizations. 3C | |
| To boost Collective IQ, systems need to reach well beyond existing groupware and WWW paradigms, for interoperability across computer platforms and over time. Open, integrated, interoperable, scalable architectures can be developed cooperatively. 3D | |
| Improvements in work practices that co-evolve with information technology will be most efficient. To test the synergy, collaborative research can be conducted jointly, in a co-evolution "skunk works." 3E | |
| Current techniques for improving organizations are often lagging; we identify new approaches for improvement teams, new forms of pilot operations, networked improvement communities, and high-performance teams. 3F | |
| Boosting Collective IQ, and with it, the ability to carry out faster and smarter product and process improvement cycles could become the greatest strategic leverage in the organization. 3G | |
| Close cooperation among a broad spectrum of end-user organizations, vendors, consultants, academia, and government institutions,who join efforts in coordinated improvement communities is the most efficient way to "bootstrap" this important effort. 3H | |
| Practical steps and discussion on ways to launch and implement these strategies. 3I |
