Map your idea network and picture the collective wisdom in your organization
Idea Networks are web-powered and participation is asynchronous; schedules, geography, and time zones are not barriers to participation by the right people. Idea Networks are driven by mathematical algorithms so position power, facilitator bias and other detriments to participation do not inhibit collaboration.
