Abstract

This publication describes a methodology and framework for the use of thinking methods as a lever to develop collective intelligence. The purpose of the described methodology and framework is to leverage in an optimal way thinking methods well-chosen to the decided purpose and objective of a specific task. The conscientious use of thinking methods allows individuals and teams to better deploy brainwork and “wire” individuals into a collective thinking process, increasing agility and quality of collective sensemaking and collective intelligence. This methodology can be taught in combination with teaching content like innovation models or marketing, with the objective that students acquire not only the content but also learn to implement it, using the most efficient thinking methods.
